* UMI* What Else For My Suspension and UMI Billet Black Sway Bushings? 1.) is UMI going to make the billet bushings in black instead of just red? I just ordered Blaine Fab powder coated front reinforced sway brackets. Next thing I will be getting is the UMI upgraded rear sway bar brackets for the axle in black and I really wanted those black billet bushings to really help strengthen everything together.
Below is what I have for suspension I am looking for a complete full suspension and I want to get opinions on what I need that is left.
Things I'm planning to get:
- UMI black front and rear sway bars
- Blaine fab front reinforced brackets
- UMI rear sway bar axle brackets
- IF UMI has them then both front and rear billet bushing brackets in black and not just red
Suspension parts I have installed on car. Everything has about 150 miles on it:
- UMI 2 point STB
- UMI 2 point weld in SFC
- UMI LCA relocation brackets
- UMI Poly / Roto on car single adjustable LCA's
- UMI Poly / Roto on car single adjustable PHB
- UMI adjustable torque arm full length
- UMI Tunnel brace + DS safety loop
- UMI automatic TQ arm transmission relocation crossmember
- Bilstein shocks
- Strano Springs
- New rear upper spring isolators
- All new front shock mounts, spring seats, front isolators (everything that the front shocks mount to minus the upper and lower a arm and ball joints are all new moog OEM replacements; was told on here to just replace every mount, isolator, upper and lower shock mount and make everything is new which I did.)
- new rear endlinks + new front endlinks both are energy suspension poly
- Motive orange box 373 gears + TA girdle cover + TA stud kid + complete mega Richmond install / rear end ten bolt rebuild kit with all new seals + all Timken bearings. Also have all new pinion spacer sleeve and brand new GM OEM spider gear.
I believe the only thing I have left for the rear end is the rear sway bar billet brackets if available, rear sway bar and rear sway bar axle mounts? Does this look correct?
For the front all I need is: upper a arm, lower a arm, k member (UMI road race), then the Blaine fab brackets and the front sway bar does this all look correct? I'll also get all new premium ball joints + tie rod ends ? Do you guys recommend this as well?
Do I need anything else suspension wise? Does it look that then I'll have a fully adjustable full UMI suspension?
Thanks in advance!
Can't get me enough UMI parts!!

Do you have a powder coater nearby? If they don't have black just get red and have them coated.
UMI sells complete front end kits that will save you some cash vs buying seperate - different levels come at different prices and parts included fron a simple k-member+lower arms to a complete front end with shocks and springs.
