I'm not sure which communities call them "K Members" but we usually call them subframes in that they add structural rigidity to the chassis as well as hold important items like the engine and control arms up front and suspension links and the differential out back.

Where did you read about a tubular unit's benefits?
How does it help with weight?


You want to make your car lighter, you can always remove them completely... Besides, they get in the way when doing basic maintenance like differential mount replacements in the rear and oil pan gaskets in the front... If you remove them you also get the benefit of increased life on your control arm bushings.
