K member and A arms... notice a big difference?

For all of you have installed a bmr or pa k member or A-arms i'd like to hear on how your car felt afterward. Is it that noticeable?

If u changed only the K member or only the A-arms i'd like to hear your experiences too... Im seeing if the gains justify the costs... And why are the PA k members 200 bucks cheaper?

Re: K member and A arms... notice a big difference?

I don't know how they feel, but don't put on an aftermarket K-member if this is a street car. They seem to be made for drag-only cars, and they are known to break under normal driving conditions on the street. Not worth taking a chance for 25 lb weight reduction in my opinion.

Replacing the upper A-arms will give you more negative camber, which helps cornering and comes in handy especially at auto-X/road-racing events. Again, if this is a street car, don't bother as they are just way too expensive for minimum weight reduction, and you don't really need the additional negative camber for street driving.

In short, gains don't justify the cost, IMO. Good luck.

Re: K member and A arms... notice a big difference?

yeah im getting pros and cons on a arms and kmembers. My friend just put BMR a arms and a kmember in his 95 z28. He's running 17x9's like me but I have bilstein shocks, sfc's, and a 32mm sway bar. So i want to see if i can feel a difference. He highly recommends them.... im not sold on the set up yet... Durability is a big deal to me.. It has to last forever really. Easy access to the engine bay would be nice as well.
