Default tubular front k members

testing these since 1998, these lighter stronger k members will finally hit the public. weighing in at a mere10 lbs, this is a replacement for your oem cross member. the lower control arms are also tubular as well which are tba.

I would pick one of these up in a heartbeat. I never understood why tubular K-members never made an appearance in the Honda market.

What is the rack mounting made for? Manual rack? I currently have a manual rack mounted to a PS crossmember. It utilizes all factory hardware? Has this thing seen the track?

Yes these have been mfg in 1998 and tested since norris. Even before your time lol these were actually made from climax racing back when and now I own the jigs and rights to them.

As for materials the k members are made from dom. Reason behind this is through many years of testing, we noticed stress areas in which cm was causing with suspension components. All of our suspension lineup is made from treated dom instead of cm for the flexability the arms need to prevent stress cracks. The infamous ce lcas did not do this hence why lot of people broke them. I have our original ones I have owned (used them for about 12 years now.) No breakages.
Overall weight savings is 50+ lbs depending on make.and model vehicle. I have beat on this thing for years. And now have the time and resourses to mfg and produce them for the general public.
