Which Is A Better Suspension Company? Ok looking at getting full suspension and dont know which company to buy from. Ive heard mixed opinions about some and really dont know which one to lean towards. So on those who know, which company do you think, by experience, has the better quality products that last long and perform the best? BMR, UMI, SPOHN, HOTCHKIS, or other brand that im leaving out..

Tough call, they all make quality ****. I'm partial to UMI and BMR.
Full on drag go, BMR or better still Madman
Street/strip go, UMI.
I voted UMI since i seem to be suying more and more stuff from them lately.

yea i was looking at UMI but a person on this forum "caugh* JONATHAN (i wont give out his sn 
) said UMI was **** so i was second guessing myself. I want my car to have real good handling, not like autocross stuff just something a dd would have but still when i come to a pretty sharp turn i can handle it at somewhat decent speed

I'd talk to Sam Strano before you buy anything. What he sells is set up for cornering, and he can help you with anything from buying shocks to a full out race suspension.

Well then you might as well go with strano sways (if even needed), 1LE bushed LCA's and (lowering will need) UMI PHB, & LCA reloc. brackets, T/A is a toss up but most likely a long arm with a relocation bracket.
Then you are set.
I have UMI parts and they are just as good as Spohn, BMR, etc. if not better.
