[White95]

*** This is for informational purposes ONLY, this is not intend to be an advertisment. I DO NOT WORK WITH/FOR FTPP ***

FTPP is currently holding a group purchase on 3.8 AND 3.4 Tubular K Members. As most of you know aftermarket K Members have been avaible for 3.8's for sometime now, but there has not any option for 3.4's. PA Racing has begun making aftermarket K Members for 3.4's as well as 3.8s.

These K Members can be made from Mild Steel or Chromoly. They will work with stock or aftermarket A Arms. Powdercoating is FREE! You will lose up to 85lbs of Front End weight with these K Member's.

This is the first and only aftermarket k member for the 3.4L.

More information can be found at http://www.ftpp.net/

ive heard nothing but praise from PA racing products....especially for that price :wow:

No, you lose 85 pounds if you buy the k member and their upper and lower a-arm set. At teh bottom of the list they say "lose over 75 pounds" so I will just assume that is what they are really claiming.

How much does the tubular K member weigh? How heavy is the stock k member? 75 pound difference means the stock piece must weigh ~100 pounds.

[White95]

looking at weight difference between stock and tubular a arms (you can find this on Spohn's website) you lose about 6-7 pounds with just the arms so ya you lose about 75lbs with just the k member. I'll weigh mine when I take it off.

Wow a whole 9% off. Its nice PA now makes v6 k-members, though. If free shipping was in that it would be pimp.

Cool. I found an old post where someone said they could barely lift their stock K member with both hands, so I guess that means it is somewhat heavy, or someone is really weak [img]smile.gif[/img]

i was told it was goign to be 25 for shipping

Um, I've had a PA racing mild steel drag k member in my v6 for several years now.

The weight reduction amounts are NO where near those amounts of 80 lbs... I think the k member (mild steel drag k member vs stock) was a reduction of around 30 lbs.

I added lower mild steel a arms... and lost 6-7 lbs per side...

I still run stock upper a arms

All my exact weight amounts are listed in the drag racing section.... sorry... not meant to attack them..... jsut being informative...

[StudlyCamaro]

they are just now starting the 3.4L K member though

[wasjo6431]

yeah the stock kmember is pretty heavy, compared to the bmr kemember i have its about 3 times as much so its around 75+ lbs. with the bmr around 23-28. plus the stock is large and ugly. and useless all its made like that for is fro crash stuff. it will absorb more of the impact so u dont. but the tubular kmembers are so much better, plus now u can easily do a Tune up without having a problem. u will be able to reach up under easier.

[White95]

the weight number are what PA Racing claims. I'll try and let you guys know how much stock is soon as I getting around to taking mine off.

You can remove the oil pan too without dropping the k-member now. Makes life a lot easier!
