Ok I found a place called PA Racing. I thought they used to be a sponsor here??? Anybody dealt with them or know why they arent a sponsor anymore? I found their site but I want to know if they are junk before I call!

Unless your car is a track only car (and by track only, I mean drag-racing only), don't take your chances with an aftermarket K-member. They have been known to fail even on the street. 10-20 lbs you might save and the money you will spend is not justified in this case, IMO.

What brand were the ones that broke? I was considering a K member as one of my future mods. I did see one brand that said race only but it didn't say drag race only. I think it was BMR. Don't know much about PA. Granatelli has a K member but doesn't list any restrictions in the ad in Summit.

Do a search, you should find which one(s) broke.

PA racing makes the k-member for Granatelli. It has been changed several times but still not the one I would run IMO........but I also agree unless you are trying to get the last litttle bit of performance (drag racing) from your car or just can't live without the extra room I would hold of on using an aftermarket k-member..my .02

Are they going to test it by running over the curbing at speed on road courses and pulling the front wheels 4'+ off the ground (and then slamming back down) on a 1.3 60' launch?? Because that's what it's going to need to be able to stand up to (as well as the worst potholed frost heaved northeast/upper midwest roads).
