What is all needed to install a BMR K member. I know you need the k member, lower control arms the motor mounts come with it looks like. Do I need to buy the upper spring mounts that I see on the web site for use with the factory springs.

Yes, unless you plan to use coilovers.
And the motor mounts do come with it.

Re: BMR K Member

OK Then. Do you know much room there is for exhaust when you remove the fuel tank.
