I've had the kit on for roughly a year, LA city driven with Zero issues.

That being said, i'm seriously considering replacing it with the MM piece.
Reason being - i'm not a drag racer but i do enjoy turning the car... Also, i really miss having the kmember brace on my car (vert) and the MM steering rack bushings...

FAsnakes So with MM k-member we can reuse the stock k-member brace that comes on verts?

The strut tower brace is supposed to be helpful to verts that lost their lower vert brace due to an aftermarket kmember...

I just put my upr k member on last night. It went on with ease. But does anyone know where the thick washers go!?!? I was thinking between the motor mounts and the K. I'm using aftermarket motor mounts.

+1....i installed the upr on my vert and the highway turns absolutely suck now. The verts are probably more affected due to loss of the k frame brace which i might add is insanely stout from the factory...there are some things u just shouldnt change and im starting to think on a vert losing the stock k frame isnt a great idea.

BACK FROM THE DEAD! But seriously Blwn04SvtCobra, this is great info because I want to do a k-member swap/coilover conversion and was considering MM. But I saw in another thread you are ordering a MM STB that fits over the whipple, which I have as well, the STB that is, not the Whipple (yet).

Please update us once you get the STB installed if it helps.
