Spohn & UMI Street Tubular K Members

Got an email with some pics of the new Spohn & UMI K members:

"Spohn & UMI, both leaders in the Camaro/Firebird suspension game, are now coming out with their own aftermarket k-members available later this month and July. UMI has a tentative date of later this month, early next month along with Spohn somewhere around June or July. Below are direct links to each product with preview pictures. PRICING has not been finalized and cannot be preordered"

Very cool, I wonder how much the Spohn piece is going to go for. I'm hoping it will be slightly cheaper then the BMR k-member considering everything else in their catalog is.

I saw posted on FFRAX that the UMI piece will be $479 and is streetble as well as drag capable. I also read it is being installed on a AutoX car for testing as well and then hopefully marketed that way as well.

Thats a long time to wait...
Spohn's workmanship is top notch. I hope his K member turns out to be suitable for more than drag cars.

Re: Spohn & UMI Street Tubular K Members

Other then weight savings, what are the benefits of an aftermarket K member? They have better access right? What about suspension geometry?

Re: Spohn & UMI Street Tubular K Members

PAs is just a POS, first off it took them 3 times to get me the right one and the one that I have I had to make the motor mounts right myself sence I got tired of sending it back to them, there welds look like crap theres no place to bolt the brakes likes to I had to weld those on there, I wasnt happy with it at all, they wouldnt refund me my money even after the third one was wrong they just kept sending out new K members.

They look nice, but how many people have actually had problems with the BMR? I have had no problems other than the lack of brake line connections.
