Are there any downsides to the k member brace on a road car? Does it cause any nvh or make the car so stuff it is uncomfortable on bad roads?The rad support is compatible but the optional BMR front K Member brace if used would not fit.

I looked up the steed rad support and it doesn't have the 2) 4 bolt brackets that the BMR brace bolts to, so I'm not sure how that would work. Something I'm not seeing apparently....got pics?The bmr k member is terrible for the street. It creates a drone in the cabin due to the polyurethane engine mounts. Perhaps if you replaced those with rubber, they'd be acceptable. I run one on my daily driver, and I'm kind of used to it....
The bmr k member WILL WORK with the steeda radiator support and extra brace, on a 2013 at least. I think you have to buy the brace for a later car, since earlier s197's didnt have that brace. @Hawaii50 @Fabman

Ah, I see....not real strong with that little stick poking out of the main tube but you're right, it does bolt up.Not good photos but photos. those two holes on the support for newer cars bolt right upView attachment 14511View attachment 14512View attachment 14513View attachment 14514
Structurally, those two open parallelograms would still be pretty weak. That old design was just terrible.
