[QUOTE="Markk311, post: 16629199, member: 201575"] I got premium k member on 5/19 after ordering it on 4/15. I saw this thread and figured the issues were sorted. Before I started on the car I had it up on blocks and made sure the chassis and suspension was square. Chassis was dead on. The factory k member was less than a 1/16 out from the rear axle. The k member bolted right in during the test fit. There is basically no adjustment from side to side after it's bolted in. The rear mounting slots are all the way maxed out. The factory engine mounts sat at a different angle than mounting plates on the k member. Thought they may be bad so I ordered a set of solid mounts. The solid mounts fit almost exactly the same as the factory ones. They are able to be torqued down to remove the gap, but I'm pretty sure it's bending the k member mounting pads to the mounts. Trying to fit bmrs coil over control arms on the front the top holes are not able to be used. The bushings hit the welds before the a arm is high enough to bolt in. This is on both bushings. The rear bushing mount can't accept a nylock nut or a flange headed factory bolt in the top set of holes. The cutout to clearance the bolt head or nut is too small. The steering rack mounts says it accepts factory rack bushings. I have poly bushings on my rack that have been on the car for years. The rack is digging into the powder coat only halfway on. I'm not sure if I even want to try and get it all the way up as I might never be able to get it back off. On a good note. eBay headers clear everything k member related on a 2v. I can post pictures if anyone wants to see anything. [indent][/indent] [/QUOTE]
