Default UMI feedback please?

i was looking at umi for my suspension with the new k-member and SFC's but they also have the sub frames that connect in the middle to the torque arm relocator and i was wondering if anyone has used these items and how well they hold up. and when my exhaust is done with headers and 3" pipe if they will still fit under the exhaust. i will be very greatful for any feedback on all of the products they offer but that is my main concern. thank you.

heres there site: http://www.umiperformance.com/

Worth every penny. I have everything from UMI minus a K member. The SFC arent installed because of the engine swap I was doing and the rack being in the way, but they are a really nice piece. Everything is great quality and fits wonderfully.

What are the 2 little red pieces on each side of the driveshaft? Driveshaft loop?

Can't comment on the T/A, but with any luck UMI will see this thread and chime in on that question, they're pretty good about that. I have their LCAs, PHB, and SFCs. Quality is simply awesome. Instructions are easy to understand and parts fit nice. You can't go wrong with their parts.

UMI makes great stuff and Ryan will take good care of you. Give them a call when you're ready for your suspension upgrades, you won't be sorry.

I have a UMI tunnel mounted torque arm and am very happy with the quality and fit, absolutely no problems with the install, don't have any other experience with their parts but I give them a thumbs up on the torque arm and plan to get the 3 point subframes they make, or at least copy the ones they have and make my own =)

I have no experience with those exact parts, but the parts I've gotten have been excellent.
