AJE RR K-member

Paul you got any pics yet?

My main question is; what does the K change besides weight?
Is there any geometery changes?
What about bumpsteer?

On the "reliability for the street" issue, I know Mark Luna runs one:

Whether they are all perfect, I can't say, but we have had good luck so far. We actually sheered off a bolt that went into the SLA and the K-member still held.
Does anyone else know of any track racers that run this K-member?

Re: AJE RR K-member

Nathan, If you want more information I can call and talk to Mark L. for you.

Paul is the second slotted holes designed for an engine set back?

I'm not sure...possibly but the 4.6 unit does not have that. The 5.0 motor mount has a "nub" of sorts that sits into a slot/hole on the factory K-member so that may be what it's for but I'll double check on that topic
