This is very true and then in the same breath I would say I can't think of anyone with an MM that had issues.

They don't sell near as many as UPR, I'd guarantee it...

It was pretty obvious, looking at it from above, it looked....almost twisted. On the passenger side where it bolts to the subframe it was almost 1/2" higher than the drivers side. The welds left some to be desired. We considered fixing it outselves but in the end he decided it wasnt worth the hassle. The mm, completely solid piece.

BMR is making one as well. I believe from what I have read is that it will be able to retain factory springs.

For every one person I've heard with fitment issues there are 100 without. Ever think it may be the persons car thats been tweaked not allowing it to fit right? I mean these cars are over 15 years old.

My car has been on a laser chassis machine, and I know the people that have owned this car from the very beginning, I know its straight. It was neglected looks wise but its straight.

Qa1 here, solid piece so far.

Did you install it yourself? What did you use to hold the motor in place?

Tally_4.6 · Nov 9, 2016

Sure did.

Engine support bar, hangs across the strut towers.

How hard was it for you? How long did it take you?

Tally_4.6 · Nov 14, 2016

Few hours, fairly straightforward.

Overall most of the day with 2 people from start to finish, had an issue with my control arms. If i did it again it def would go smoother.

Doesn't sound like an issue MM then at the end just different parts swapped?

What issue did you have?

Well at the time i didn't have coilovers yet, was just gonna run these tubular AJE arms for coil springs.

So when installing them we realized they weren't big enough to fill the slots for the A arm, we needed some spacer/washers for them to be snug. So we went to lowes and got some, then came back and finished the install. Then finding out the used arms i bought were bent, one of them anyway. But that's a separate issue and sort of unrelated to the K install.
