has anybody installed this front end Kit?

or parts of it?.. looking for some insight to see what im in for..

the parts run about $1500.. and just want to see. if you like them. and how Much work it will be in a drive way.. (( ENG out of car.))

 

Since no one has chimed in yet ill try and help. Our kit is similar but what were some specific questions you had about the install? If the engine is out of the car it will make it a lot easier.

Basically just get the car on jackstands so the front end is suspended with a good amount of room under it. Take your time and label any items that are not familiar so you can put everything back together without the extra leftover fasteners lol. It is a pretty straight forward install, take it out and put the new one in the same way.

 

Hi Thank Y ou For the reply.

doing a eng up grade.(another stroker). so yes the eng will be out of the car.. and so i was thinking of doing the K frame A arms and going with Coil Overs.... then in the summer i can do rear coil overs as well.


I also have My Eye's on the BMR parts as well..
by swaping out all the above parts it's got to be what 40lbs diff.

 

Youre welcome, its just under 50lbs off the front end (30lb for the K Member and 18 for the coil over conversion)

 

the K Frame that BMR makes will it ALSO take the A arms from others
like Spohn.. ran across a new BMR K frame (good price $250ish)
a guy is selling the K Frame and his Aarms are 2 left sides?
all parts are new..

and i see you sell a Kit A arms and coil overs for the front end also..
$750ish.. but i dont see any info on your coil over set up on your site.

have cash and shoppiing!

 

Yes our K Member will work with all aftermarket and stock control arms.

What specifically were you wanting to know about it?

 

tryed to win it on ebay.. was out bid by $10 in the last min..
the BMR K member sold for like $305.00.
was trying to save a few Bucks..and get spohn's A Arms $299
and add them the the BMR's K Member..

want to do my front end with a tube K member. A Arms & coil overs.
and have it set up for the new Eng. when i drop it in over the nexed few weeks.... spent all day Buffing out the weld wheels..

looks like the front end Kit set. up from Spohn runs $1424.62 shipped
K Member (take my factry Brace Mounts..)

ill chime in as well i went with a full set up from spohn front and rear and have an lsx swap. its no doubt one of the best handling cars iv ever had( iv owned 2 c5's def was better than the base but i dont know about the z ) and there rear set up makes the car just stick to the road especially hittin hard out of the corners i love it.

 

The hard part about the coil over kit for me was the thrust bearings and making sure that they stayed in place when I raised the srping into place.

One thing that I wish that I'd thought of when I orignally installed it, was to put anti-seize on the bearings. After 3.5 years now they kinda got rusty and needed to be replaced. Which is no big deal.

As for the k--memeber install, the hard part was just supporting the engine. I did that with a block of wood under the ballancer. Tho I don't recomend that and rather have used a engine hoist. Eh, when ya don't have a full shop at your disposal when I installed. I worked with what I had.

But the install for both is pretty straight forward.

 

what do you have to cut to get the coil overs in and is it hard?

im looking at the same thing

 

Umm nothing at all needs to be cut to install the Spohn coilover kit. It is 100% bolt on installation.

 

Ours is also.
