NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR SPOHN K MEMBERS FROM HAWKS EXCLUSIVE

Hey guys,
Just want to let everyone know we have been working with SPOHN over the last year helping him in the development of 82-02 small block,LT1,LS1, and
LS1 coversion tubular k-members. I am happy to say we are now advertsing and taking orders for all four different types of k members with a list of options that are available. We are exspecting a 4-6 week delevery time with possibly a little longer at first as we have about ten orders that have been waiting awhile we will be getting out first.PLEASE NOTE SPOHN HAS GAVE US THE OK TO TAKE ORDERS EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. meaning Hawks Third Gen will be the ONLY place to order this k member this month. please do not call spohn as he is very busy keeping up with orders for all of us right now as per my conversation with Steve.I can say that all of the k members that we have test fit have fit GREAT with provisions even for the hard brake lines to be bolted to VERY NICE.I can honestly say fit and finish is great.Please feelf ree to email or call me if you have any questions at 864-855-2694 or questions@hawksthirdgenparts.com
Thank You,
Bruce Hawkins

I was at Spohn the other day picking up some parts and I got a close look at his 4th gen tubular k-member. He said I just missed being able to check out a 3rd gen. All I can say is that thing is a work of art. Beefy, and actually very nice looking. The one I saw was a chrome moly piece and it was fairly light for the amount of beef.

Im going to be ordering one for my 87 as soon as possible.

Flat out WOW.
I'm saving now.

Looks like you can still use stock A-arms, stock spring style, etc etc right? Just bolts in in place of the old K-member, more room underneath and more rigidity?

Is this recommended for street use, or is it more setup for racing only?

It says a few times in the description, good for a daily driver. Which is not stated on the "old" one...Thats cool, cause if my "old" one breaks while I'm daily driving, I'll personally "return" it to the maker. (Whomever Bruce had doing them)
