if its not your DD, then bribe a friend with pizza and beer. i did my k-member install myself, but it would have taken less than half as long if i had an assistant. i just followed the instructions i got from BMR. and if you are swapping out the k-member, it would be a good time to install some poly motor mounts

the only thing i deviated from on BMR's instructions was that i didnt disconnect the steering rack hoses... i just loosened them up just enough so they could swivel, but not lose fluid, then i bungee corded the rack to the motor. if you dont mind playing with the fluid and cleaning it up afterwards, it would be easier to totally disconnect and remove it.

Also the umi installation instructions aren't as good as the bmr ones

how did your alignment come out? after my k-member install, the shop got it close, but coudln't get it perfect. i'm thinking since you did A-arms as well, they'd have more flexibility in the alignment.

installing the a-arms shouldn't be an issue. Kmember on the other hand, a tad bit more work. I plan on doing a tubular kmember when I pull my engine next year.
Do they work well with the stock rack? I had a umi kmember in my fox body, but it would only work with a manual rack.
