Product Description:
Spohn Performance's tubular k-member sets a new, higher standard of performance and quality. When they designed this k-member, they 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. This 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 boxed a-arm mounts for maximum rigidity and side load support. These k-members are gusseted in critical areas to ensure that a weld never breaks. They decrease overall weight, and provide much more room for large tube headers, turbo systems, etc.
This k-member will accept stock a-arms, or for additional weight loss and performance enhancement we also offer tubular a-arms (click here). K-members are available set up stock style coil springs or in a coil over version that eliminates the upper spring perch for additional weight savings. This 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 brake line mounts (there's no "zip tying" of the brake lines with this k-member) and optional front k-member brace mounts.

Options: Select your options in the drop down option boxes below. K-members are available set up for a stock style coil spring, or in a coil over version that eliminates the upper spring perch. K-members are also available with no motor mount pads for those who will be using a motor plate, or with mounting pads that will accept standard small block or big block Chevy motor mounts. We also have a version for those who are swapping in any Gen III LSX based engine (LS1, LS2, LS6, LS7, etc.), this version will also require our Part #SP-971 LSX swap bolt on motor mounts. We also provide the option of having front k-member brace mounts installed (not quite ready as of 9/6/06). All 1986-1992 cars were factory equipped with a triangular brace on each side of the front of the k-member to reinforce the front subframe at the steering box mount. These braces reduce flex and cracking of the front subframe and are a recommended addition for any street driven car. If you own a 1982-1985 car that was not factory equipped with the k-member braces, we also offer new triangular braces, make your choice below.
