[QUOTE="sunburned, post: 14569665, member: 30336"] I get that, but nobody said anything about a change in geometry in the first post. I don't have a whole lot of experience with the newer mustangs or with BMR, but back with the new edges, most k-members were just made to save weight and to add some space for turbo piping. And that was only possible because the stock k-member was a huge tank of really heavy metal. I think only MM and Griggs were actually changing the geometry of things or at least offering adjustability. I modified the entire suspension on my GT, basically the only stock part left was the k-member because it was my daily driver and I didn't want to sacrifice strength and collision durability for a few pounds off the front end. I don't see much adjustability in this new k-member, but I guess that means the mounts are already moved and I just can't tell? From what I've seen on S197 cars and maybe it's different with teh S550, but the stock K-member looked like a pretty scrawny piece that already had speed holes and didn't take up much space under the car. When you said you barely saved any weight and didn't really mention space savings and geometry changes, that's why I questioned the point initially. Not trying to hate, just want to find out more info. This new k-member does look much more complicated than all the ones I've seen previously. [/QUOTE]
