just had this installed and the sway bar delete kit, just checking to see if other people with this setup are having alot of vibrations and when you turn it makes alot of noise thanks.

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...
