UMI Performance

iTrader: (77)

Just a quick post to update everyone that our control arm relocation brackets now have 3 lowering positions instead of two. We found this feature nice when tuning the rear suspension from drag, to street to handling. As with all UMI Performance products these are manufactured in our facility in the USA using USA steel and laser cut for precision tolerances.

Is the lowest hole lower then then the lowest on the two hole units?

looks like the 3 relocation holes are smaller dia than normal.

when I wanted lower holes,I had to fab extensions.

We did adjust the holes slightly with the new design. The lowest hole in the new design is 3.250". The three hole design is 1.750", 2.500" and 3.250"

I hope that helps,

Was just about to order these but the UMI website is down currently.

Also, which hole on these would be better for handling/cornering if my car is lowered 1" or 1.25"? I rarely go to the strip so I'm looking for the best road course setup.

Which hole works will be trial and error. For handling applications you want the control arms to as close to level as possible. Use whatever hole accomplishes this.If your arms are level now, there is no need for these brackets from a handling perspective.

x2^, if you want a handling setup you do NOT need these. The way the rear LCAs are sitting after you lower is actually ideal for handling.

I see, so because at the stock height the LCAs are at a slightly down angle, if the car is lowered without these then they will be more level which is ideal for handling?

JD_AMG

At stock height the rear LCAs should be strait. When lowered the axle side should be higher than the body side, that is actually ideal for handling, and more neutral. The other way around may cause snap oversteer.
All you really need for handling is proper shocks, springs, swaybars and a watts link, everything else does very little.

I am lowered 1.25" all the way around. At stock height these brackets will
benefit you as well. You are disposing a negative angle and creating a central holding
position. Torque does some funny things to F-bods =)

Ask the guy at UMI or ask a BMR tech, no matter what the height, you will
benefit from LCA relocation brackets. Our cars handle like crap in turns with
stock suspension, I know this for FACT. I race at Sebring every weekend.

Get some UMI LCA relocation brackets and adjustable lower control arms and
feel the difference. UMI also makes a hella adjustable panhard rod.
