when you refer to the lateral loads, are you referring to hard autocross/roadrace loads or are you referring to daily driving and just turning here and there being too hard for a single tube k member? just for clearification![Hijacked!](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/myhijacked2.gif)
ive read a few instances where the single tube bmr has cracked from too much street use.

BMR had problems with ones several years ago ( I had one) the tube would tear the front box material away where they welded to tube to the front box. The weld never "cracked" it would just fatigue the metal around the weld till it failed. The new ones don't have a front box but 2 upright tubes to better displace the lateral loads. From what I had seen on the forums the front tube bending was never an issue.

You all put SFC's on your cars because you think the car is too weak. And the floorpan is not subject to the pounding suspension parts are.
