WOW! i didn't know they only cost $220!! How tough are these to install? I'd imagine quite some time is involved... is it worth payign for this to be installed? (sorry for the high jack! and the granatelli looks N I C E)

When I bought my car last year it had a K-member on it already by http://www.need-4-speed.com/ajeracing.htm
I love the way it makes the car handle!!

strengthens, stiffens, reduces weight, allows greater access to areas not easily accessible...anybody confirm this?

+1.
And from a lot of the Mustangs and F-Bodies I've seen, it's an often overlooked modification...

I like the MM one but if you get into an accident and have replaced the stock K with an aftermarket your insurance company can refuse to fix the damage to your car. I confirmed this with my agent.

AAA also offered to cover my mods, but thet were more expensive. I called all the other major insurance companies I could think of, and none of them would cover more than stereo and wheels/tires.
BTW - My MM front suspension upgrade was one of the best mods I ever did!

Well, it appears that Granatelli is the winner, as I suspected. Saving weight is a part of the equation, but getting some clearance around the motor is a bigger part of the swap. The granatelli just looks to be a lot stronger, more substantial if you will. I think the insurance company would be happier with that one, since I don't race the car.
Thanks for the few votes that I received.
P.S. UPR is about the last thing I'll put on my car. Based on everything I've heard, I rate them about one notch above MAC.
