BMR front subfame

[TeeLew]

Hey all, my wife bought me a BMR front sub for Christmas and it showed up the other day. This thing was just under $600 and made in the US. I honestly don't understand how they can sell this thing for $600 and not lose money. It's really nice. Everything appears to be waterjet or laser cut and the welds are all very nice. We'll see how it all lines up when the time comes, but, for the moment, I am very impressed.

I got the BMR jacking rails, and felt the same way after I had a chance to look at them in person. Good quality stuff.

If you're talking about the K-member, another interesting point is their web site states that its over 50 lbs lighter as well from stock !! ..........not to mention stiffer

I have been considering one as I'm having a Procharger installed once spring hits. Ordered the street version in red. Should offset most of the added Procharger weight. Cost is less than HALF the other guys also!

Tim give us your thoughts on install, etc. once done. TIA!

That is only the lightweight drag/street option that (based on the photos on their site) doesn't have any attachments points for a front swaybar. Not ideal for a handling. You have to get their other option to get that.

Tim,

Did your wife get you KM760 for $639.95 or KM761 for $589.95.

Your statement that it was "under $600" worries me as KM761 doesn't have any provisions for mounting the front swaybar which I think you'll miss when doing autocross.

KM760 swaybar mounts highlighted.

KM761 with no Swaybar mounts (BMR rotated this 180 degrees for some reason but you can see where they're missing in the highlighted areas as well as the lack of additional triangulated bracing.)

I'm not TIm but just ordered the street version, (Only 30lbs lighter) for less than $600. ($595.00)
I asked them about leadtime, 6 weeks, and he sent a code for 7% off. Shipping is FREE also!!!

So, send them a question thur their web site.

Cool, hope that's what he ended up with. They aren't very clear about the fact that the lightweight version eliminates those mounting points on their site.

It's the KM760 w/ the ARB mount. She got it on a Black Friday deal, so less than $600.
