which Kmember would be stronger....

ok while im in the process of redoing every front end component on my car i figured might as well do the k member and i want something that can take the most abuse besides the factory one. right now im trying to decide between the new BMR 1.5"x .120 wall mild steel k member or the PA racing 1.150 x .120 wall Chromoly (road race version) k member. from the specs, the PA Chromoly one would be strongest right? but the BMR looks to be the best designed and strongest? how much of a difference in strength are the specs of these 2 k members? i personally like the idea of the Chromoly considering everything ive swapped or put in my car are chromoly, but i still want the best for my car and if its the mild steel BMR than so be it.

How are you going to be using the car? If its anything but a drag car, I'd reconsider the chromemoly. Its more brittle than mild steel (will break instead of bending), and the weight savings isn't worth the risk. To me the BMR looks far stronger, but that is yet to be seen. We have an AJE crossmember on order (road race version), and it appears to be far beefier than others on the market.
Personally, I wouldn't use any PA Racing product. Too many failures.
