that looks like a serious arm. will there be an option to get it without spring purchases?

We will definitely have non-perch Arm offerings.

These things are tanks. Built for Baja1000 - JKJK.

Still quite a bit lighter than OEM, and will perform much better with the free floating inner sleeve design with 95 durometer Poly bushings.

 

[NVRL8TE]

Please make this, and don't rape us!

L O L O L O L

 

[BMR Tech]

OH - we are making them. We are making allllll the things. We have some very cool stuff in the works!

Pricing, our pricing is always great. We feel that our products are consistently among the best per dollar you can acquire.

I'm not sure if it's me or not but doesn't your control arm look to be shorter then stock ? The rear mounting points are lined up and the front looks to be a good inch shorter then stock ?

 

[Blkkbgt]

What about gussets where the tubes connect to the bushing lugs?

Is poly going to be the only bushing option?

 

[01yellercobra]

I'm definitely interested. There's a couple things I'm not overly thrilled about with my current K member.

It's just an illusion. The left OEM piece is closer (higher) to the camera, and the right proto piece is lower. Combine that with the lens being on the left side of the phone - it looks shorter.

We will have long and short version, based on the OEM stuff (fox, then 94+)

As for the other comments, keep in mind these are prototypes. These are built to confirm the fixture is sufficient...in terms of matching the OEM mounting locations and for test fitting and checking. All the fun stuff comes a little later. Sway bar mounts, gussets, engine mounts, rack mounts, tube path changes etc etc etc

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far. Been wanting a change from my current k-member.

 

[NVRL8TE]

I cant wait.

I will buy this!

Especially since you will offer those nice control arms, and I don't have to go coilover.

When you all get it finished, I would love to see some weight comparisons to stock.

 

[BMR Tech]

The arms pictured, according to modeling and some preliminary measurements, are going to be approximately 4.5lbs lighter than stock per side. So about 9lbs savings as a pair.

Not much - but when you consider the additional benefits, any weight loss is good.

They will come with Pro Forged grease-able ball joints, be 4.5~lbs lighter per side, have much less deflection and offer much better performance. Oh and, servicing them will be easy peasy!

 

[94slowbra1]

and i can only assume lighter without a spring perch? sounds promising!

 

[AznPrswayzn]

I think it's awesome that you guys are coming in here and showing us what's coming as well as asking what we'd like out of a k-member. I like what I'm seeing so far and when the final product is available I'll most likely be buying one.

 

[NVRL8TE]

Thanks for keeping 94-04 Mustang mods coming!

 

[joshcarp81]

so the a arms are free with the purchase of your awesome know member right?

 

[UncleSAm]

That's great, any weight savings on the K member?

 

[NVRL8TE]

It's literally impossible to not save weight over the factory piece.

 

[BMR Tech]

That's great, any weight savings on the K member?

Absolutely! I may even have some rough estimates today.
