Default Who makes the best tubular K-member???

Im thinking of a tubular K-member and A-arms.. who makes the best? My car isnt a race car.. its a street car that occasionally visits the track (road coarse.. some drag) - I think the two players are BMR and PA..

Things that are important:

1. Quiet - not much more noise than stock
2. Has attachment points for all factory stuff

Getting 40-50 lbs off the front of the car seems like it would help a lot with the weight distribution.. Any help would be appreciated..

I have installed a few PA K members and the quality and fit is awesome. Id go with the mild steel version for street use. There is usually a couple of week wait on these. Most of the sponsors should be able to get you one.

I have experience with the ARE, PA, and BMR K-Members. The BMR has the best fit and finish of the lot and also appears to be the strongest... It is a tad heavier than the others but does not require re-use of the stock engine mounts. This more than makes up the weight difference. All you have to do is look at pictures of each one and you will see what I am talking about. The BMR piece required NO modification to work in my 2000 SS.

Ditto on what Shane said! We have installed all 3 he listed and the BMR was defintely the nicest of them all. 0 modification was necessary and it bolted right up.

This is what I'll be getting this summer!
