This is a repost. I would be concerned less with this and more with what you are buying regardless of manufacturer. Aka, what kind of rod or poly ends you get, adjustment, whether you need what you think you need, what improves what when you change what and what are the drawbacks. Hours of reading enjoyment
Once you figure that out, I would either go with UMI or BMR. I think all 3 are sponsors here but both UMI and BMR are very much active in this suspension section on ls1tech and appear to have great customer service.
I also wouldn't rule out other suspension companies though for specific things though like springs and shocks. That I would recommend stranoparts.com

BMR has the most complete line of f body suspension parts of any company. From the average street car to the all out stock suspension race car, we have you covered. Track proven made in the U.S.A. BMR parts are on some of the fast drag radial cars in the country. If you have any questions or need any assistance please contact me.

If you have any questions regarding our product line please feel free to ask and we will be glad to assist you.
Like mentioned by Z28Bryan, the most important part of setting the suspension up is using the correct items together. There are certain types of set-ups that will work better then others based on your driving. There is also some items in which are over kill and vice versa.
How do you drive the vehicle? What is it mostly used for?
Thank you!

I have all UMI (frame rails, panhard, torque arm, shock tower brace) but just moved to tubular control arms from BMR... bought them on ebay for nothing, couldn't resist.
Big UMI fan but BMR works well too.

I have Sportline springs with Bilsteins and full adjustible BMR components. Adding the TQ arm, PHR, and LCA's with the squat brackets made a huge difference. I'd like to buy Strano springs, but need to research which springs/coilovers are best for drag racing when I make it a track car.

Don't forget Strano Parts as well. Sam will take the time to understand his customer's needs and will recommend the right parts for that customer. He does have his own line of springs and sway bars. However I think he works very closely with UMI for the other components.
