Default So has everyone given up on aftermarket k-members?

I know there has been a pretty big demand for an aftermarket unit that will save weight and hold up to street use. I've been hearing for years now about how companies like LG Motorsports was supposed to produce one, even sent them emails. But to date no one makes one that doesnt break welds, atleast as far as I know. Has the aftermarket pretty much given up on producing this part? Any tried to PA Racing one with road race option?

My Pro Fab Chromeoly K member hasnt broke and is holding up just fine. Not sure what the weight is on other brands but I weighed mine when I got it, and it weighed in at 19Lbs.
It is the best $450 I have spent.
