Whole UMIperformance Setup?
Anyone have the whole setup?? I'm looking to know what you guys think, if their stuff is worth it or I should look for another whole suspension setup. If anyone's got it you have pics??
|
I just have umi lcas,phb,sfcs and a torque arm. All front suspension is stock. I am pretty happy with the quality of everything, good directions and great prices.
Edit I just ordered spohn parts for my fourth gen, I'll take pics and compare the sfc's.. |
I have a few parts and they are all great
|
First off, welcome.
What package are you using? I have a full lineup of UMI hardware on my white Z. . . |
i have all UMI on my camaro except the K-member (its PA Racing), ive cut a 1.40 60 with it
|
I'm looking at the whole front and rear package, when they go to carlisle they usually do show specials I can get the whole front and rear setup for $1000, but I wasn't sure if anyone was pleased with it so it's good to hear you guys are pleased with the quality atleast. It's a black trans am I'm going to get all the components in red, so atleast the underbody will look good too lol.

you mean I'd be able to see the SFC's in a shot like this??? lol.
|
Am I wrong in saying that UMI pretty much stole most of their designs from Spohn?

You might be able to find some of the simple rear suspension pieces cheaper from RPM, which is a sister company to ws6store. All their pieces are very similar to UMI. Quote:

buy spohn, they stole all of their stuff for the most part from him, and they use cheaper steel. I know for a fact because spohn sponsors me and he and i are good friends.

They copied the design that Spohn has probably spent years developing and then have the balls to charge more for it? No thanks. UMI will never get a dollar out of me. |
no UMI here, all spohn for me
|
its a ''''great set up'' an it works playa......
:mrgreen: i run a full ''spohn'' set up, front to back, an ther killer driveshaft..
an never hadd a proable... spohns the best,play,as....:nod: |
Got my Spohn pieces in today. I took the pictures of both the spohn parts and UMI parts I had laying around. The spohn are much nicer when it comes to welds and powder coating.
You cant see in the pictures because of my cell phone or lighting but ill try to get better shots in the daylight with my cannon.. UMI http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...4/IMAG0099.jpg Look at the middle on the right. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...4/IMAG0097.jpg Here are the spohns http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...4/IMAG0091.jpg I cant even get a good picture of them because they are so nice looking.. UMI=red SPOHN =black both of the powder coating looks to be the same. I wouldnt hesitate to use UMI ever again, but the spohns were a better deal and after everyone saying UMI stole spohns design I wanted to see what they had to offer. Anyone have BMR parts laying around? |
What makes the spohn nicer than the umi? Looks to me like the umi utilizes both sides of the lca mount while the spohn only uses one.

For what its worth, I have Founders lca relo brackets. They are as nice, if not nicer than the umi ones I saw, and were half the price brand new...

Also, as far as connectors go, there is only so many ways you can go from front to rear sub frame. They are all bound to look similar in some ways.. Either way you cut it everyone copies off of everyone else, then makes their own improvements and "tweaks" to the design to make it their own.. Its the American way! |

I mean I have spohn's welded on my car but I have also seen the umi sfc's in person and there's nothing bad about them in my opinion. I agree with Josh too, only so many ways you can go from a to b.
