Default PA Tubular K-Member? Good or Bad?

I did a search on them and couldn't find anything out about them.

I am about to buy one, and wanted to see what everyone on here thought about them. How do they compare to the BMR peice? I am going to buy one. I am in the process of swapping in a 408 and figured now is the time to do it.

It is about $150 cheaper than the BMR so I was wanting some info on them.

ANyone that has one can you give some feedback on it?

Thanks

I have one in my car (1year) and havent had any issues yet, we'll see how it handles the new power in about a week. I helped my buddy put one in his z and his is holding up just fine too.

Do you drive it on the street alot? I was wondering about that. I have been reading about them, and I have seen some horor stories about driving them on the street alot....

I ordered the BMR one. Fitment was great. Not sure about PA's but the extra money might be worth the piece of mind knowing everything will line up as it should.

I only drive it on the street no track times yet. Fitment was good and getting the car realligned wasn't a problem. There is alot of windy raods in PA and I drive the car Like it was ment to be driven. When I did my moter swap I pulled the engine from the bottom and when it was out of the car I inspected it and didn't see any cracks or stress of any kind.
