UMI Product Update: 4th Gen Shock Tower Brace Now Available in Satin Black
1993-2002 Camaro/Firebird Shock Tower Brace now available in Satin Black.
P/N 2005 mild steel priced at $79.99
P/N 2006 chromoly priced at $129.99
The UMI shock tower brace connects the front right and left shock towers together for firm handling, improved steering response and protection when running those big sticky tires up front. The UMI brace is constructed of 1-1/4” USA tubing and uses 1/4” thick CNC laser cut mounting plates. The UMI mild steel version weighs in at 4-1/2lbs while the chromoly version weighs only 4lbs. Installation of the UMI shock tower brace takes 15 minutes or less using basic hand tools. Available powder coated gloss red, gloss black or new satin black.
Picture is a 92mm correct, we are going to work on a FAST 102 so hang in there! The Strano bracket is installed on that car as well, it's black.
Satin black right now is just the shock tower brace since it is has a cosmetic appeal to it. The color is awesome, it has a slight texture to it. I really like it and our sticker seems to top it off.
It would be amazing if this worked its way to the other suspension components as well. Either that or a discounted option for no powdercoating at all so we could do our own custom colors.
I am also looking for an STB to work with my fast 102. Was thinking of trying the BMR V6/ LT1 SS version but don't know if it will fit with the strano MC brace. Looks like UMI stopped making their V6 version..

The V6/LT1 SS STB will not fit with Strano’s Master Cylinder Brace. I tried and didn’t even think about it, I got it cleaned and painted SOM. I went to install it and no such luck.

Dang, I thought it looked like there could be an issue with the pictures I've seen of it. Thanks for the heads up!
With the small spacer plate that comes with the Strano Brake brace, the UMI STB will clear the 102 intake. I installed the plate under the passenger side and that was enough to clear without issues. I am also running UMI solid motor mounts that may or may not be a factor.
I tried that with a founders STB and stock motor mounts and it was not successful. With the amount of spacers needed I think I would have ran out of thread engagement on those bolts.
