[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 14462071, member: 141815"] I've been waiting to see more on this piece for a while now. Tob what size and gauge tubing is used for the main structure of the K-Member? I'm estimating roughly 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" diameter by looking at the pictures. The way they tied the hop and arms of the K-member along with the cross brace should add a lot of strength to the rear LCA mounting points on this piece. I know where you stole that picture of the failed K-member.....LOL That picture is one of the reasons I've been very leery of doing another K -member swap in my car. But the MM K-member has been something I've been considering because of their past history of doing it right. The rear mounts are slightly smaller than stock, but I don't know if this would cause an issue or not. The Roll Center change is nice and should really help the handling. The front upper mount needs to have a spacer for the rear mount. Otherwise it will alter the anti-dive characteristics of the suspension in a manner that isn't good. It would be nice if they actual dialed in a little more anti-dive than the stock K-member also by raising the rear mount slightly higher than the front, yet keep the bolts for the front mount in the same plain as the rear bushing for easy free travel of the suspension. Do you know if MM altered the anti-dive geometry also? If this is a prototype they have time yet for some fine tuning before releasing it for sale. Good job on the write up......thank you. [/QUOTE]
