looks like a nice piece. many of them look trick, but most don't work worth a damn. how does this one fair against the rest? For track only or for both street/track? any cars out there with them; moparts cars? again, nice looking front-end. cost?

I agree! I have owned an AJE, a MagnumForce and a Bob's Pro Fab and they all have their issues. Brett, what is the price on the STR? Which spindles/brakes does it use?

Yes works well and its in W9Darts (Jason) On moparts and its in 2 other cars not on moparts has been working on it for 3 years to make sure it going to work.
One of the advatages is use of stock spindels and the stock engine mount is nice(can be had with or with out)
This set up works well for street strip or all out drag car. It is not for auto cross.

I have one on my car street/strip... It even works perfect with the Gen III Hemi too. I drive my car about 100 miles per wk and have not had a single issue. Steering is tight, drives straight on the street, no problems back up or turning either. In the next few wks I'll be going to the track so I'll give you details after that.
As far as the spindles; I'm using my factory spindles, with RMS UCA's. and wilwood brakes.

Looks good. Come back after about 3,000+ street miles and 100 or so passes at the track, then give us some valid feedback. BTW, why does your car lean so damn hard on the right side? Good looking ride. BTW, I was only giving you a hard time about the red stripe.

I have about 2200 miles on the car now, so I'd say I've put her through just about every situation on the road possible.
The body twisting is from tq, I don't expect u to know anything about that... Roflmao! Seriously it's bc I need a anti roll bar in the rear with the type of suspension I have.

Re: STR Kframe pics - 07/06/12 12:40 AM
so for street use, you would have to have a brace or something for the upper shock tower?. thats why i'm going with a rms set up, and not a magnumforce setup. it does look very nice thou

Re: STR Kframe pics - 07/06/12 12:43 AM
It comes with one that fits nicely inside the shock tower frame.

Stopped by the booth today and it looks like a nice piece. The k member section only weighed like 22 lbs. Can get in moly or mild steel and the price is nice.

it depends on if you want motor mounts, single or doubles, brakes, moly or mild steel, upper shock supports etc... so there are some options it seems so price would vary!
