BMR Fabrication KM002H - BMR Fabrication Tubular K-Members Details

General Motors

BMR Tubular K-members are designed to provide a lightweight alternative to the factory K-member as well as provide additional clearance for aftermarket headers and turbo systems. Their unique design on our V8 models feature integrated frame stands that replace the factory cast iron frame stands. This additional weight reduction allows them to use larger diameter tubing and thicker mounting plates for additional strength over the competition. This means that you can use the K-member for street use, road race, autocross, or drag strip use. BMR K-members are built exclusively using larger diameter 1-5/8" x .120" and 1-1/4" x .095" tubing yet still remain up to 7.5 lbs. lighter than the competitions due to their integrated mount design. Using a BMR tubular K-member and upper/lower a-arm set, expect a minimum weight reduction of 42 lbs. Combine this with a coil-over style spring/shock combo and a lightweight front brake setup and lose over 100 lbs. off the front end!

The LT1 design integrates the driver side cast iron frame stand and the passenger side motor mount into the k-member. These two items alone weigh 8 lbs. and are eliminated when using BMR K-member. Total K-member weight including drivers frame stand and passenger motor mount is 24.5 lbs.!

NOTE: Due to motor mount design, these K-members are not compatible with shorty headers.
