Which tubular K-frame?

Hey guys I'm getting ready to upgrade my chassis by adding SLP weld in sfc's and I'm going to install a tubular k-frame to lighten the car at the same time and I was wondering if I should get the UMI or the BMR? Any feedback of problems with either one, also I already have tubular upper & lower front a-arms?

I also have a Canton oilpan and I've heard that I should order the k-member with the rack mount dropped a 1/2" to clear the pan is this correct?

Well I have a BMR K member and I love it.
I can get to the spark plugs much easier and there is much more working room and it stiffened up the front end a lot.
Well worth the money.

Might want to mention the year of the car. I'm assuming "87 Aerocoupe" refers to a Monte Carlo... so that doesn't help us.

Why not add a "signature" with basic info about your car - year, model, engine, trans and any major mods? That will avoid confusion.
