Best K-Member for LS1 Swap.

I've decided that I'm going to try a tubular K-member again. I'm fighting the swap mounts I have to make the motor line up right and once we fixed that my turbo header didn't fit. So I'm thinking of trying a tubular K-member again. I will not try a Spohn piece again as I foght that battle before and in the end just do not want to mess with one again. So in the fron end I have Spohn A-Arms and Spohn coil overs.

Looking at PA Racing, Umi and BMR. WHats the opion out there? Looking to order one in the next few days.

He hates mine to. Up until a few weeks ago I lived around the corner from his house.

I think they are a great platform and the only thing I think is kinda meh in these cars is the interior which i can deal with.
