Don't tell my fiance... oh wait, his supercharger money is on my finger instead I don't think either of us will be able to afford superchargers anytime soon.

Too late, I wish I had the money

You still have 90 days to take it back lol j/k.

I'm probably going to have someone make a set instead of paying $200 a piece for them. Are they worth it for a street car? Probably not.

I think Im going to get them since my bumpers are off the car. Its a 26 lb. weight savings. Along with a K-member, A-arms and racing seats it will be around 90 lbs.

It was installled on a lift. I think it only took a couple of hours. My a-arms got done at the same time so the entire stock assembly was removed at once then the new k-member and a-arms were bolted back in. It's doable with jack stands in the garage, just plan on adding some time.

This is deff. on my list.

That a nice project you have. I have seen that video before. Are you getting the same motor and trans or the 3v in the picture? I want the sequential tranny so bad.

My car is having problems shifting at higher RPMs. I heard a K-Member brace fixes this problem. Does anyone have experience with it and will it work with a after market K-member?

[plattner01]

i put a bmr k member on my 08 , and on my 03 gt as well but both are auto.

Yes a kmember brace will help this, i still have the stock kmember though.

How much of a difference did you see when you installed the brace? Did you have a problem shifting at high RPM's? I have been told almost every 2005+ will have this issue if pushing over 450 rwhp.

What happened to you? I havent seen you on the site in months.

[plattner01]

still here just not a lot to say in the past few months , plus i mostly spent my time shooting, and just ended up staying away from the computer. also just got my car back from md from the engine upgrade/new tune etc. that is the 08 gt the 03 gt is still there with matt working on it. since he messed up his hand i guess it will be awhile.

i agree, i had one on my 06 gt

Big difference. Couldn't shift quick in the upper rpms. No issues now.
