BMR K-Member and A-Arm question I recently ordered BMR K-Member and Lower A-Arm. But, I have heard from two people that that these are not really designed for a streetable/daily driver application.
I want my car to ride smoothly around town and on long rides (I do not spend a lot of time at the track)...any feedback/suggestions appreciated???
Thanks,
Ron

Re: BMR K-Member and A-Arm question I plan on doing the same thing and I drive my car all the time on the street, and see the track sometimes....
Will the BMR K-member and A-arm hold up??

Re: BMR K-Member and A-Arm question I have had the tubular k-member on my car for a year now, and have had no problems at all with it affecting daily driving. I do *not* have the a-arms though... :shrug:
good luck,

Re: BMR K-Member and A-Arm question The PA (Performance Automotive) is definitely not for street. This is what I have and it's junk! Cheap rod ends that make noise and fit was terrible. I had to do a lot of modifying to make it right.

Re: BMR K-Member and A-Arm question Ron, I should have been a little more clearer on my statement on mogmhp.com. I purchased and installed the k-member and lower a-arms. I believe the k-member itself wouldn't be maybe as bad if you install just that. The lower a-arms is what I believed caused me the most problems with the alignments, poor handling, etc..... The k-member looks sweet as hell under the car though, I could send you pictures of my TA... I think if you get the k-member you will be fine in terms of driving, I think the lower a-arms might kind of be a pain though. My BMR k-member I had to lengthen the steering shaft, and I also had to fabricate brake line retainers as well, as it does not come with pre-made brake line holders. Good luck with it, and I am sure more people will chime in with their experience's.
