I figured this could be considered LT1 tech not suspension since it has some tech involved. Who has what and how do you like it, either looks good, BMRs is a little cheaper than PA racings chromemoly one, but PA does not list the weight of it, I know BMRs is 24.5 lbs, does anyone know how much PAs weighs.

Also which has better header clearance, PAs looks like it has a lot less material, but I guess that could be bad for structure. Any opinions or pictures of yours?

 

Pretty much everyone I know uses BMR for their suspension needs, and I haven't heard anyone complain yet. Plus, one of the fastest LT1 s in the country uses BMR stuff. Good luck.

 

You might want to try a "search". As I recall, there was a thread on this subject about a month or so ago, and the general consensus was that the BMR stuff was a superior quality to the PA parts. But you might want to find the thread and see the comments... I remember posting to it.

 

yea BMR stuff is the $hit i have a ton of their suspension parts and am happy with them all.. i have the BMR K-member with their lower a-arms. To me i just love it cause there is SOOOOOOO much more room under there now. i can change my plugs in like 10min now having less weight up front and looking bad a$$ is just a plus

 

The PA I got is first rate. One thing we noticed is that the PA locates the LT1 3/4" further back than stock. This really helped with the supercharger pulley & fluid dampr. Don't know where the BMR orients the engine, but If you do decide to go PA, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

 

I had a handful of problems with my PA k-member.

Seach for the previous thread that Injuneer mentioned...

 

Wouldn't that require a new driveshaft? Sounds like an extra expense.

 

I had to shorten my DS anyway since I was going with the moser...

 

I have heard of people having problems with the PA k-member. I got the PA k-member, but have no miles on it yet. Will pick up the car next week.

The BMR k-memeber is a nice unit and if you have the extra money to spend on one then I would get the BMR.

 

Injuneer, on a side note, do you have any idea if Spohn has any intentions for making a k-member/a-arms?

 

I figured that BMR was the way to go, I have a few of their things and am very happy with them, and their customer service it great. Thanks guys.

 

I have had my P A K MEMBER on for a year. Has been down the track over 100 times. Was a breeze to installl and had no problems with my Hooker LTS . Would highly recomend. This is the only picture I have. Only shows the top side.


P A K-MEMBER

 

Here's a couple from the bottom. Note that I have all the items that are supposedly a problem with the PA. The Canton pan and Hooker Longtubes. No problems with either... You can see my custom s/c tubing also.

Personally, I'm waiting on LG to make a k-member. My purposes might be different than some of you since I road race my car, but too many people I know end up replacing BMR parts with more robust parts once they start tracking their cars. I'm certainly not trusting a k-member to BMR under heavy useage. Maybe for drag racing I'd trust it since the loading would be much less.

 

See unlike the PS in the PIC above, the BMR even come's with the motor mount built into the K-MEMBER already.
