Ok ...gave M & K body shop the $230 to buy your SFC ...hope there as good as everyone says ....this would be my first purchase from UMI ....

 

My K-member and A-arms just showed up. Huge thanks to UMI for being awesome.

 

Has anyone installed the k-member yet? Just curious if anyone has done some road testing with it. And is the regular (non road-race) version stronger than the stock k-member?

 

hello UMI

The body shop (M&K of toledo ohio) that I have my iroc at... Ordered the SFC from you...and from what the shop tells me is ...that you said 6-7 days to get them...the body shop called you back on the 9th day..To tell you that they have not arrived yet..The shop plans on calling you back on monday..to find out when there getting there....but can I get a tracking number ..or can you tell me when they will get there??

 

Our k-member is designed to withstand abuse from daily driving, corner carving and drag racing. The twin tube design below the oil pan is quite robust as opposed to some other companies designs. Our RR version, debuting next week, has some additional bracing built in for that little extra security.

The main claim to fame is the weight reduction. The factory k is of course very strong. It's just big and heavy...

 

I can check for you on Monday. What were you told when the body shop called us? Is it purchased under the body shop or your name? Can you PM me your name if ordered under that?

Thanks for choosing UMI.

ramey

 

Body shop said they have ordered under there name ...( M & K ) of Toledo Ohio .....when they called you ..you guys said it shipped out ...I start work at 430pm so I stopped by the shop on my way to work around 230..to take pics of the iroc ...that's when they said this ...so Idk if they came in after I left ....

And thanks for posting a response

 

Oh, if it left our building I'll be able to get you a tracking number.

The body shop should have a tracking number automatically emailed from us to them.

No prob on the reply, that's why we're here. In addition to making cars fast...

 

Got the pm ...thank you

I'm gonna hold you guys to it! I'm very excited to see it!

 

It's next week now. Got any pix or info? I need to get some weight off the front of my IROC and this would be a decent way to do it. My car WILL see road course abuse with big slicks. I hesitate to deviate from the stock stuff becasue it really can't fail, but I'd like to get rid of the weight. Can you talk about any testing you have done on the regular or the RR version to validate it's strength over time?

 

ditto, to all of that

 

Hey guys.

We have a few RR k-members out there but the product is so new we're still gathering test data.

The standard k's already have a ton of hard miles on them with no ill effects. Our test IROC and test Houser Camaro (383, giant Nitto's, 4.11's) are performing well.











Of course we'll address any problems as they arise but we're pretty confident in our twin tube lower design.

 

It looks very nice! Crazy question, do you have any pictures of the red RR k member?

 

Very nice. I see that it's re-inforced in the following areas:
1) front part of side frame to front section of upper spring mount
2) rear part of side frame to engine mount pad/rear section of upper spring mount

It would be nice if you guys tested out a camaro that does high lateral G's so we could see how it holds up to that.

 

Cut me a deal I'll be the test mule...

 

Strangely enough, black has been popular for these. No red photos of RR yet.

Everyone must be in stealth mode.

 

Oh, I just wanted to see what the one I ordered would look like. Curiosity and all that jazz.

 

2401 is exactly the same but without the little braces and gussets.

Thanks. It is a beautiful piece though. I can't wait!

 

when do you think these will be available for order?

 

You can order them all right now. We're working on getting the RR on the website. If you're going RR, just call to order. The other P/N's are available on the site.

Thanks!

 

Now that is dead sexy. Consider me sold, UMI.

 

Wow definitely ordering this RR version for my winter engine swap! Thanks UMI can't wait!
