S&W Race Cars K-member - Is it just me?

I don't recall hearing about this http://www.swracecars.com/Files/pdf/CATpg26.pdf , p/n's 35-KM008B or 35-KM008R. Can't use OEM A-arms, though.

Maybe I just missed it, but searches didn't bring up any references.

Looks like they are just selling the BMR units. I like the design of the BMR but someone needs to slap the guy who came up with the hammertone idea. I would consider buying if they came in black.

Dude, you read my mind. I even asked them if they COULD plaint it black for a premium, but they said no.

I was under the impression they did their own fabricating. So much for that burst bubble.

Cant sounds like wont, I think you would be surprised at how much better they would sell in Black.
