And I'd be one of those persons able to sell it..... I even had some input on the design of it (just little things), and have held it, two versions of it actually in my own two hands.

Ryan, so I guess judging by the pictures that you CAN use stock control arms? Do you recommend changing to new bushings as well or can we just yank the old crossmember and install the new one?

Any specs and pricing on the chrome moly version? When will the chrome moly version come out? And how much do you charge to install just the k-member? Thanks in advance for the info.

Judging by your pic's and sig, that car will be scary fast. Very nice set-up! How do you plan on using the car? I guess what I'm asking is, what kind of abuse are you going to put the k-member through? Will it be used as a DD, 1/4 mile, road course or a combination? Sorry for all the questions but, this is the first install post. Thanks on keeping us updated.

As a side note, I would like to see a chrome moly version also.

Should be getting mine soon. I will be using it on a AutoX/open track/street car. DOT 315s should show any problems with the design. I'm figuring there wont be any problems at all judging from the time they have spent on the design.

Looks real strong. Are the main cross tubes seam/fill welded the whole way across??
For those looking for chromoly versions; don't know that I would trust them for rough street/road course curbing use. Some have even busted them (albeit a weaker design than the UMI) on hard launching, wheel lifting drag cars if they slammed back down too abruptly.
