Spohn
Performance's tubular k-member for the 1993-2002 V-6 F-Body Camaro and Firebird sets a new, higher
standard of
performance and quality. When we designed our k-member, we
had several goals in mind. One was to provide the performance
capabilities needed for the toughest race tracks, another was
to
provide the strength and durability required for the demands
of a
daily driven vehicle. Our
k-member provides substantial weight savings and frees up a lot of room
in the engine bay for our drag race customers, but it also provides the
strength, rigidity, and durability for our road race, autox, and daily
driver customers as well..... all in one package!
Spohn's
tubular k-member features gusseted a-arm mounts for maximum
rigidity and side load support. Our k-members are gusseted in
critical areas (over 20 locations!) to ensure that a weld never
breaks. They decrease overall weight, and provide
much more
room for large tube headers, turbo systems, etc.
Our
k-member will accept stock a-arms, or for additional
weight
loss and performance enhancement we also offer tubular a-arms. Our
jig was built around the factory k-member providing for an exact fit
and factory exact dimensions. Every detail of the factory k-member was
incorporated, including all five brake line mounts. There's no "zip
tying" of the brake lines with our k-member.
