Product Description

The BMR KM742R Standard K-Member (Red/Black version with spring perches) is engineered for Mustang enthusiasts building 1996-2004 Mustangs who want a lightweight, strong, bolt-on upgrade. By replacing the heavy stock K-member with this tubular DOM steel unit, you reduce front-end mass by about 26.5 pounds, improving weight transfer and traction while maintaining OEM ride height.

This K-member fits factory suspension with conventional springs and struts (not coil-overs), preserves SN95 steering geometry, and allows clearance for performance upgrades like long-tube headers or forced induction plumbing. It mounts using the stock engine mounts and A-arms (OEM or BMR), and includes spring perches for straightforward installation. Finished in durable Red or Black Hammertone powder coat with a 2-year warranty, it's ideal for street, strip, or performance builds.
