Over the past year I have beeen buying UMI products. Well, I just went with the distributors recomendations on everything. This is what I have bought:

1 x UMI Front End Kit - Stage 2 (1998-2002 Camaro & Firebird LS1)
- Color: Red
- Material Type: Mild Steel
- Road Race K-Member: No FBS002
1 x Hotchkis Sport Coil Springs 1905
1 x SLP Bilstein Shock Package, 1993-2002 Camaro/Firebird (Set of 4) 70008
1 x Prothane Motor Mounts, Black (1998-2002 Camaro & Firebird LS1) 7-512
1993 - 2002 GM F-Body 3-Point Subframe Connectors- Bolt-In
1982 - 2002 GM F-Body Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets - Bolt-In
1982 - 2002 GM F-Body Tubular Non-Adjustable Lower Control Arms
1993 - 2002 GM F-Body Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm w/ DSL - Long Tube Header Set-ups
1993 - 2002 Single adjustible Panhard bar

The only piece not UMI is my Hotchkis strut tower brace I already had. This is for weekends cruising, and track. Not a daily driver. Nothing has been put on yet, was even thinking about no front sway bar. I am really hoping to hear someone with a similar setup says its a good combo.

In my opinion that combo will be just fine. I would bolt the relocation brackets in and have em welded but other than that sounds like a plan dude!

if you plan on having it as a weekend street car, then leave that sway bar on! if you are just tracking it cool...but leave it on there for street driving....the set-up sounds good man, are you upgrading your sway bars?

i would leave the sway bar on for the road and take off at the track. 5-10min ordeal taking it off and on.

Good idea on the swaybar removal at track only. Had not really thought about a swaybar upgrade until now. I am sure UMI sells a light version. Main thing I was worried about on my setup was: Not having the best shocks / springs, not having adjustible LCAs. I do not do any type of road racing that involves turning / handling.

I may do this later, right now I am saving for other needed parts.

Good choice and thanks for the business

If you have any questions regarding the sway bars please let me know.

Thank you!

Good call on the sway bar choice. I didn't notice a PHR; you may need it once lowered with the springs to recenter the rear.
