Are you talking about there new k-member? if so youll have to wait in like like most of us because hes still finishing up on it. anyways back to your question. This question has been asked multiple times and it seems to bring in a good debate. There are people who run it daily with no problem and then there are people who are scared to run it everyday because its designed for track use. Ill be running mine everyday as many others have. so the decesion is up to you. I think the main reason people might be scared to run it daily is the struck perch, when welding it to the round k-member it can become a weak point and with daiyl driving the shocks are constently in motion, which can cause a failure.

It's a disclaimer. Just about every aftermarket suspension part you buy will say the same thing.
