k-member

bennyjet846 · November 5th, 2011, 06:33 AM

what does a aftermarket k-member from maximum motorsport offer besides being lighter weight than a stock k-member and giving u more room on the bottom end? does it help with traction in any bit? does anyone know the weight of a stock k-member?

Taken right from the MM website.
Please search next time, before asking such a basic question.. really...

Benefits

Replaces the stock k-member with improved version designed by MM.
Lighter weight than stock k-member: Installation of complete K-member system reduces vehicle weight by nearly 40 lb.
Improves suspension geometry.
Moves roll center vertical location to optimum position.
Improves weight distribution.
Allows increase in positive caster.
Allows engine setback for improved weight distribution.
Improves maintenance access.
Easier steering rack removal than stock or other aftermarket k-members.
Stiff design prevents flexing.
Tough enough for street, strip, and road course use.

Features

Raised front control arm pivot points; 2 positions accommodate the ride heights of street-driven Mustangs and racecars.
Control arm pivot points are moved straight forward 0.75"
Fore/aft tire location is determined by which MM Front Control Arm is chosen.

Like Serlin said,

but it also corrects the geometry when you lower your mustang like raising your FCA's pivot points etc. It also adds rigidty to the k-member for more road course driving/ racing apps. The other it might free up other space to be able to do other engine mods down the road. It will also move the FCA's forward to reduce or eliminate brake dive issues.

They also open up a ton of room on the underside of the bay for working on things and header clearance.
