OK I have been searching and reading about these. i am looking to go with a UMI tubular k member on my 94 formula. What I am concerned with is how many people are talking about them breaking. I have also seen many talk about them being built for road roace and autox. Now I am NOT an autoxer or a road race guy. Mine is mostly a street/strip car. I belong to an international pontiac organization and drive it to cruise ins and benefits and stuff like that and do not want to buy something that I will have to worry about failure with while on the raod.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Did you read the posts by Sam Strano in this thread?

spohn has a nice piece i put it in mine its all gusseted and good welds not flimsy at all

 

Thanks for digging up that link, Fred .

I'm currently in the market for a new K-member, as well as a bunch of suspension pieces (already leaning towards Strano parts) so this is good info to have .

 

Yup I got all of my suspension stuff from Sam Strano and when my new engine is finished I'm going to put in the UMI roadrace k-frame.

 

IMO I'd go with an UMI if i was autocrossing, a Spohn if I were in a street/strip application or a BMR for drag only.

Reasons behind this, from what I gathered, UMI is the strongest (and heaviest), spohn is a great median between weight and strength (I believe it is the second lightest next to BMR, and they warranty their k-members), and BMR is the lightest in the market.
