How much lighter is it than a stock K? How much lighter will your wallet be after buying it?

Everyone's making a K-member now. The one I have was made 12 years ago with no issues. Many have bought or built them and had issues. Some worse than others.
I already have one and am perfectly capable of making my own. But, that said I would be hard pressed not to buy one from Bob's Pro Fab. A video of the suspension in action and watching Donald Carter's Dart is all the proof I need. '
THIS K-MEMBER MAY BE THE CATS MEOW BUT, I WOULD NOT BUY ANYTHING FOR A FRONT SUSPENSION BASED ON PRICE. It may not be cheaper, just saying.
There is nothing on a race car that can get you in trouble quicker than a geometry problem in front suspension. Before buying I would ask him to video tape as Bob did the front suspension where you can see the A-arm, spindle and tire in motion over hard bumps and hard takeoffs. Also whatch it when the car backs up. This particular front K-member looks a lot like old designs already out there. I would be curious as to what is different about it.

Just curious, how do you guys know that this product is not of quality? How do you know that this company didn't do adequate R&D? You don't right? I understand your loyalty to the company you purchased your product from, but don't talk out of line about another company you know nothing about.
Us as Mopar enthusiast should welcome options as we are always behind the times and production with it comes after market product options.

I dont think anyone talked bad about the OP product
but Bob shows the way his product works(video)... I
dont run Bobs front end... just seen his work(in
person)

Couple that with Bob being a very nice guy who seems honest and dependable and I have no reason to look anywhere else.
I don't see **one** negative reference to the system being posted about. I agree that options are good for us as racers. I also believe that those that are building the highest quality pieces and are honest and provide excellent customer service need to be supported which is why you see the support for Bob.
