The main claim to fame is the weight reduction. The factory k is of course very strong. It's just big and heavy...

Oh, if it left our building I'll be able to get you a tracking number.
The body shop should have a tracking number automatically emailed from us to them.
No prob on the reply, that's why we're here. In addition to making cars fast...

Re: UMI Performance 3rd Generation K-member Now Available!
Our k-member is designed to withstand abuse from daily driving, corner carving and drag racing. The twin tube design below the oil pan is quite robust as opposed to some other companies designs. Our RR version, debuting next week, has some additional bracing built in for that little extra security.
The main claim to fame is the weight reduction. The factory k is of course very strong. It's just big and heavy...

Re: UMI Performance 3rd Generation K-member Now Available!
It's next week now. Got any pix or info? I need to get some weight off the front of my IROC and this would be a decent way to do it. My car WILL see road course abuse with big slicks. I hesitate to deviate from the stock stuff becasue it really can't fail, but I'd like to get rid of the weight. Can you talk about any testing you have done on the regular or the RR version to validate it's strength over time?

Hey guys.
We have a few RR k-members out there but the product is so new we're still gathering test data.
The standard k's already have a ton of hard miles on them with no ill effects. Our test IROC and test Houser Camaro (383, giant Nitto's, 4.11's) are performing well.
Of course we'll address any problems as they arise but we're pretty confident in our twin tube lower design.

It looks very nice! Crazy question, do you have any pictures of the red RR k member?

Re: UMI Performance 3rd Generation K-member Now Available!
Very nice. I see that it's re-inforced in the following areas:
1) front part of side frame to front section of upper spring mount
2) rear part of side frame to engine mount pad/rear section of upper spring mount
It would be nice if you guys tested out a camaro that does high lateral G's so we could see how it holds up to that.
