Or are you just paying for the name??
I am looking for a set of new non adjustable LCA's and have seen the range from
$79 a set to about $250 for a set..

these are the cheapest I have found

and the hodgkis being the most expensive..


would you buy the J&M ??

I am also looking at the Spohns???

Like anything there are differences between similar products. Might be big, might be small.

LCA's like you are are looking @ bind the rear suspension up, which doesn't help the ride or the ability of the rear of the car to deal with bumps well. Welding, powdercoating or painting, the fitment of the bolt through the sleeve and so on are all differences you tend to pay for. Sometimes it's a name only, like the Hotchkis arms that bind and all that, AND you pay too much for it too.

I sell UMI stuff because I can trust it, it fits and it works. Other products are out there too, you just need to realize that there different ways to attack parts just like the different ways Ferrari and Chevrolet build supercars.

^^^Well said.

I personally have UMI suspension parts and I love the quality of them.

UMI was one of the brands I was looking at..
how well is the fitment?
and they have the grease fitting correct?

will most likely be getting these in the next few weeks..

You might want to call and discuss things with me first. You ask about grease fittings, and UMI certainly have zerk fitting in their poly bushings. But you need to be careful about some types (not brands, but style) of arms. I don't ever personally chose to use poly-poly because between the two bushings and the arm itself, they bind the rear suspension.

I prefer to use these instead, because the handling and ride is better: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7
