UMI A-arms with Spohn K-Member?

I know some people have used the UMI arms with a spohn K-member but I'm having trouble finding much info. I'm well aware of the gripes with the Spohn K-member, but I already bought it, so I would like to try and see if it will work for me. That said, I want to go with UMI from here on out. If I get the A-arms from UMI, will the setback be any different from factory A-arms? or are the UMI's basically the same fit?

If I wanted to measure setback just based on the A-arm without putting together the whole assembly, do I just want the balljoint basically centered on the wheel well?

If anyone has comments or pictures of the UMI arms on the Spohn I'd love to see it. I really don't want to buy another K-member at this point, but I also don't want to have to take everything apart if it won't fit right.

Good morning.

From a UMI standpoint, our a-arm is designed with stock dimensions as far as bushing width and ball joint location. It should fit Spohn (although I don't have documented evidence).

Thank you, I actually went ahead and bought the UMI arms, so I'll be test fitting them this week on the Spohn K-Member which I already have installed. Will post up what I find.
