What are the advantages/disadvantages of BMR tubular k-members and a-arms? What would I notice with these aftermarket parts? What’s the benefit besides that they are lighter?
Thanks

Re: What are the advantages/disadvantages of BMR tubular k-members and a-arms? They have place for strapping the car already built in. Makes it quick and easy.
Makes dropping the engine from the bottom easier.
Disadvantages? None that I've ever noticed.

Re: What are the advantages/disadvantages of BMR tubular k-members and a-arms? Interesting, I didn't even consider the brake line mounts.... My memory is bad, is that for the a-arm or just the k-mem ? I cant visualize <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

Re: What are the advantages/disadvantages of BMR tubular k-members and a-arms? Only the K-member but the A-arms hold the electrical wires for the ABS. Just screw the brake lines to the iner fender 1/4" above Kmember and zeep tie the wires to the brack line. A bracket for the brake line to the flex line need to be made. 2" straight piece of metal. Very easy.
