[snake_01]

for those of you that have added a tubular k-member and tubular a-arms did you notice any change in your et or mph?

There really isn't a lot of weight difference, not what they lead you to think anyway . It is less weight though, and it is right off the nose so I'd expect better weight transfer and a better 60'.

Once you get your stock stuff off, you'll notice a big difference in weight with the control arms, but you'll be surprised at how light the factory K-member itself is.

This has everything to do with your springs and struts, and stiffer control arm bushings than it does tubular stuff. Tubular parts are simply stronger and lighter, they don't actually improve your handling other than a slight improvement in front/rear weight bias.

Are you kidding??? Yeah some dont do anything for handling but those are for drag racing only. Griggs and MM's K members and A arms will make your car handle like a go kart when properly configured. It is all about geometry and yeah most junk brands just replicate the stock K's geometry but are made of lighter meterials but a real quality piece has a lot more to offer.
