Bmr k member with umi front weight jacks

I have a bmr k member on the way and am looking to lower my front end. These umi weight Jack's say

"Fits UMI K-member and Factory K-member. May not work on other brands."

Was curious if anyone has any idea if these will work together? Or if not what my options might be? Thanks !

I know the Ground Control fit with BMR. Never owned the UMI so can't say.

Re: Bmr k member with umi front weight jacks

Front coilovers are for the skinny tire drag race crowd only. Takes up too much room and can't get a decent tire on the car. Also loads the car where it wasn't meant to be loaded. It will blow out shock towers in the real world.

Also, unless you're a drag racer just skip the BMR k-member all together. I had already installed mine before I understood this. It's just for weight reduction and raises center of gravity for drag racing. It's flimsy, and it's the wrong kind of weight reduction for cornering/handling where you need to keep the center of gravity low.

Sorry for the delay on this. If the BMR is intended to fit factory components, then our weight jacks should fit. We put that disclaimer in there in case our weight jacks interfere a tiny bit and need some grinding or other adjustment on competitors products.
