k-member,a arms

I have the BMR tubular k-member and swaybar delete support (stock a-arms). There is a bit more driveline harshness but nothing really intrusive--frankly I'm surprised just how livable it is. If you have the adjustable tubular a-arms, then those WILL be noisy. If they're the non-adjustable ones, they shouldn't be bothering you. Probably worth a check, insuring everything is tight and torqued, greased, etc...

^^^ That's the kind of feedback I've been looking for... The BRM rad support/sway delete has been taunting me for a while now, but I've been too gunshy to pull the trigger (afraid of loose feeling when corning)

Note I also have the BMR xtreme antirollbar and strut tower brace, which adds back a degree of cornering stiffness that was removed with the front swaybar delete kit.

You sort of have to decide whether you want drag mods or open track handling mods--you can't have exceptional handling characteristics AND front/rear weight transfer for the dragstrip. Eventually one or the other will get preference as you add/subtract suspension and chassis components. With my setup, everyday driving is still acceptable, dragstrip suspension is dead on, but pushing corners hard just isn't part of the package anymore...

I had a thread about replacing the k-member so I would like to see where this leads...
