Is BMR rad support okay for road course use?

I know the S197 BMR K-member is problematic for road course use, are there any similar concerns with the BMR radiator support? Thanks.
 
Thank you both. The BMR design looks very similar (identical) to the Steeda so this is reassuring. @FilxNZ like you I am frustrated this support doesn't have the mounting points for the undertray and you have to use zip ties. But I will do it for now.
 
I had a Steeda one crack where the sway bar mounts go up when I was running Michelin slicks - but I ran one for years with 200tw tires.

It's also a few hundred bucks to save 4 lbs... I measured it with my bathroom scale holding both. Just don't bother.

I mainly did mine to try and find some extra room for cooling ducts. But I agree, unless you're really chasing every pound of weight reduction don't do it just for that.
 
The original BMR rad support failed on my race car. BMR sent me an updated model and it’s been going strong since 2015. The weight isn’t as much of a big deal as it is more a more streamlined part and leaves a lot more room for things like brake duct hoses etc. well worth it in my opinion.
