UMI Performance 98-02 GM F-Body Tubular K-Member - LS1

Starting with the dual tube lower section, UMI Performance's K-member is built for strength and weight savings. This direct bolt-in replacement for your 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird is fabricated from 1-1/2” OD DOM steel tubing and 3/16” thick laser-cut steel plate for the a-arm mounts. This construction not only makes it incredibly strong, capable of handling up to 1200 hp, but it also shaves 25lbs off the front end of your vehicle. That weight reduction helps your existing horsepower work more effectively, improving your car's overall performance and launch characteristics.

Beyond the weight savings, this K-member offers practical advantages for performance builds. The tubular design and integrated motor mount stands provide increased clearance for aftermarket headers and turbo piping, which can be a common challenge with stock components. The a-arm mounting points are boxed for strength and feature lengthened slots, allowing for more alignment adjustment than the factory setup. The main cross tube is also lowered to offer better protection for your oil pan, a smart detail for cars that see regular street use or track time.

UMI Performance fabricates this K-member entirely in-house using 100% US steel and offers it in a durable gloss red or gloss black powder coat finish. It bolts directly into the factory location for the rack mounts, simplifying installation. If you're looking to reduce front-end weight, gain header clearance, and add a robust component to your F-body's drivetrain, this UMI K-member is a solid option.
