I would like to know the answer to this as well...

Any under-car pictures of it installed? I want to see if it protects the oil pan at all. My car is lowered pretty good in the front and it's not uncommon to scrape the stock k-member now.

Hey Ryan,

That looks like a super K frame, I'm gonna add it to my list of what's next.

What advantage/dis-advantage would a Chrome-Moly version have for the street? Weight, cost, strength, etc.

Thanks!

Just saw this thing in person at the UMI tent at Thunder in the North put on by GMRSpeed in Brunswick Ohio. Very nice piece. They have it installed on their car as well, looks great installed. Ryan's a great guy and very knowledgeable.

Viper, if this has been covered forgive me (I didn't read entire thread), but how difficult is this to install? Thanks.

Sorry, no idea really. I'm sure Ryan will chime in once he sees this.

I second what Viper said. The online pics do not do it justice! I can't wait to work my way through the UMI catalog.

Checked out this K-member at the GMR Speed TITN Dyno Day and it was an awesome piece, can't wait to see the results for autox and road racing, will definitely be purchasing one of these if they can stand up to the abuse of that!!!!
