V6 suspension
Hey yall I have a 97 Camaro 3800. Swapping this car to manual and wanted to put a tubular k member to lighten it up and also possibly increase the handling capabilities. I was looking at the BMR kit but it looks like it's set up for LT/LS cars. Is there anybody who builds suspension for the V6 cars? Or maybe somebody who has done suspension under one? Want to have a fun daily I can also track. Don't mind the harsh ride.

Wow that is a lot of money, Anyone know how much weight just the K-member saves?
I did the hollow SS sway to my V6 (32MM). It kept the front end flat enough you could push the car hard enough to slide the rear. and it drops about 20 lbs. With your stick you can play with the gas to keep the weight towards the back and push the car to its limits. There is a learning curve there. Rear sway was the 19mm.
I would not call a 60 pound (guessing) loss a noticeable difference unless you already have the Koni shocks and a lighter wheels. IMO 25 lbs in lighter wheels is better then 60 Lbs of frame weight.
