looking for some feedback on K-member

i want to purchase the LS1 conversion K-member from Hawk's Thirdgen Parts. did a search but this is not the most common engine swap so has anyone else here purchased this? any probs? would you buy this part again if you needed another K-member for another swap?also the rear T56 crossmember, is it a good product? i've heard of at least three cases where the BMR k-member had welds break on the lower driver's side control arm mounts so i really don't want their product . Bruce states his k-members are not BMRs so i have no reason to not to believe him. i've also heard very good feedback about Hawk's in general so this is where i wish to purchase my parts for the conversion. i also wanted the k-member because it will allow me to retain the a/c components from the LS1 and besides ,it just looks downright tricky!

Sounds good, do you plan to use for a daily driver?? I am wondering about how it stands up to the abuse of daily driving.
Thanks
