what are the benefits of a tubular k member vs an oem besides the weight factor........i am in this debate because my car is going to be 90% street and 10%strip so the weight thing is not that important ...plus the oem will save me about 900$$

tubular k give you more clearance for exhaust or turbo tubing, allows you to easily convert to coilover. they are also said to be stronger if built right. and they look a lot nicer

 

if you were doing a build for mainly a street rod would you buy it? or worry about it later

 

how is OEM going to save you $900???

my K-member was $230

 

hell when i bought my full k-member kit it was 800shipped i think.

 

You answered your own question. Save your money

 

With the big Hooker super Comp long tubes and C6 tranny the K member was the best investment I made on my car. I would never consider building another car without it. Best 250 dollars I've spent on my car.

 

hey pro, how long did it take to get your tube K member?

im about to order mine since my frame rails are done.

 

It only took me 3 days to get mine though Summit.
