Thanks for the all the positive replies. It is great to see.

A few years ago we decided the best way to continue to prove our items was to race them more and that is what we have been doing. Our event calendar has been growing each year and hopefully over time we can bump into each one of you at a track.

On the K-member, to be honest it is hard to justify the benefits of a $800 k-member, the pro's don't always equal the cost and we understand that. There is some benefits to be found though, 20+ pounds of weight savings, extra room like mentioned and more alignment ability. All of that can seem small compared to price, but if you saw what it takes to build these things more people would understand. Not that anyone is complaining on price, but I know it's high, we strive for quality. Our newer coming soon boxed lower a-arms include more caster and we are still working on some upper a-arm options.

We have a lot of heavy hitters on our team as we continue to develop the 4th gen product line. So be watching for more cool stuff (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/2thumbs.gif)
