Just picked up my front suspension parts today, looking good so far. I bought everything from http://www.americanracecomponents.com/. I won't be able to install everything quite yet, as I plan to order new struts, steering, and upgrade to LS1 brakes. Basically I plan to replace/upgrade the entire front steering/suspension all in one pass.

That looks pretty good, a tubular k-member with some more beef to it. Tell us how it all goes together, I wonder if other a-arms are compatible..

thats not a bad deal.
if its no trouble, could you get a weight on the k member?
also, since i dont like their a arms, do the stock ones fit in there?
if so, then other a arms can be used

I'm guessing that other a-arms would work. Their k-members do require coilovers though, since they don't have spring perches. I'd guess the weight of the k-member and a-arms at about 30 to 40 pounds, I don't have a scale to weigh it though.

Well, if it works as good as it looks you should have a great handling car! Just the weight reduction should help....will you change over to rack and pinion steering too???
Holy geez that k-member looks overkill lol. My Spohn looks like it weighs less but maybe not, I never weighed it.
Looking good, talk about a bright color!

its a shame it doesnt came with spring perches, i actually like that k-member, seems to be well braced in important spots.
OP, did you even install this, how did it fit?
