Calling all with K-member, A-arm setup... I'm probably going to get these in the fall, but I was told by someone today that they aren't very gfood to have on a daily driven car....he said they felt too loose, my car is driven a lot....
This would be a nice weight lost for the car too, especially with the addition of the iron block....
What do you guys think who drive on these a lot?

Re: Calling all with K-member, A-arm setup... I have the following on my daily driver:
- BMR K-member
- LG lower a-arm (all rod ends)
- BMR upper a-arms (all rod ends)
don't know what that guy is talking about feeling "loose" but thats
.....
The reduction in weight makes the car that more responsive (tires don't have to turn so much "stuff"). Having more solid a-arms removes flex which also makes the steering more responsive.
Finally, having an aftermarket k-member makes working on the car MUCH easier (much more room).
if you have the money, DO IT!

Re: Calling all with K-member, A-arm setup... I don't know about the BMR but the PA is not streetable. The rod ends they use make mega noise. The PA has many problems and very poor customer service! I have been trying to get a replacement A arm for weeks now and can't seem to commumicate with them. The passenger A arms they sent me is too short.

Does your car have a little more "pep" with the K-member and A-arms? What I mean is it a little more response when using the loud pedal.

Re: Calling all with K-member, A-arm setup... yeah......the car had better get some more "pep" when you shave 40+ lbs off the front..... 
With the LG coilovers, I could never make the front end pitch at all on a launch (so small it didn't count). Now with the weight removed it really does jump up. I'm sure with slicks and a drag suspention I could lift the front end off the ground.
