bmr makes good weight reudctioon products.

by the end of the week, i will have most of them installed.

i already have the bmr radiator support/sway bar delete.

i ordered the k member and non adjustable a-arms

all 3 will give me around a 50-60lb weight reduction
I thought the BMR k member was a V8 only part, is this a new one? Because this is something that is on my short list if so.

By the way, do you miss the front sway bar?

the bmr piece fits both v6 andd gt models, as the factory shares the same part #, even the motor mounts are the same motor mounts.

i dont "need" my front sway bar, i dont make hard turns, or anything like that, so i guess i dont miss it.
