[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 13413638, member: 124691"] There are many benefits, or "Pros" to adding a tubular K-Member. There are also "cons". Some Pros would be: -Less Weight - Lighter -Increased Rigidity -More room underneath -Increased clearance for header / turbo options -Engine Height adjustment options -^Increased underhood clearance for turbo / large SC applications -Firmer / Easier shifts for Manual Trans Cars -^Less drivetrain flex under load -Rack height adjustment (no need for bumpsteer kit) Cons: -Increased NVH (some this is pro, some con) -Labor/Cost to install (subjective) -Lack of moutning points for underside panel/cover The BMR K-Member will eliminate the factory shield / Z-Brace that connects the radiator support to the K-Member. We do offer this to replace that system though: [ATTACH=full]499646[/ATTACH] I don't really recommend this for a car that is set up primarily for Drag-Race....but it is a very unique and cool piece for daily driven and road-coursed cars. Here is a shot of how our 2011 sits right now, out in the parking lot: [ATTACH=full]499647[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
