Just found out my K member is shifted over three mm and my tubular A arm is a little bent as well... Should I go the Tubular K member route?? Or the stronger looking stock set up.... (roughly half the price, but twice the weight). Any ways will have to wait till after Saturdays race.

Either the stock K-Member or the Maximum Motorsports K-member. The MM K-member uses stock A-arms and ball joints. You will need to call MM to get everything needed. I don't think they list everything for installing the K-member, sway bar, z-brace, and transmission scoop on their site, but it is available.

I forgot to mention, the MM K-member is not lighter than OEM. So, if your reason for going to an aftermarket K-member is weight, I would save your money and use the OEM part. I know you can get a lighter K-member, but I would rather have some extra weight for strength and stiffness mounting and locating the front suspension components.

+1 for OPM points. :D

I was going to mention the weight. I never think it wise to put 'drag race' parts on a road race car. Such parts are even worse on a dual purpose street/track car.

Either stock or the MM K. I'd stay away from really light frames...

Yes looking at the OEM cradel compared to the BMR one..... The OEM is far more massive.... and cheaper..... Cheaper and stonger always wins!
