Looks great man. I do love the UMI stuff. I am actually waiting for my lower A-arms to arrive to go along with my K-member. Did you have any problem with the tunnel brace install? Is that UMI as well?

thanks everyone! yes i did notice a difference! my driveway slopes up into my garage (barely enough so that i don't hit on the bottom, thank goodness), and even with all the other suspension stuff (including a chrome moly strut bar) i still noticed some dash/interior creaking as i try to angle my way in and out. with the subframes, i can't notice anything, so that right there tells me that my car is much more solid. on the road, for me, i can feel the car respond a lot better. and this is after i've gotten all these other mods. before i got the connectors, i kind of doubted i needed subframe connectors for a low mileage car that had never been abused, but man, did they make the ride more enjoyable. doesn't feel like a 12+ yr car anymore!

no problem with the tunnel brace, but i don't have longtubes. i have slp coated shorties connected to magnaflow direct fit cats to the gmmg (which is plenty plenty loud connected to the ol' lt1). so it's basically still the stock exhaust routing with much better components, haha. tunnel brace is bmr. i'm not sure if it's changed, but at the time umi didn't have a regular tunnel brace available, they just had the driveshaft loop tunnel brace which i didn't want. spohn makes one for any exhaust, which i had before the bmr one and lets just say that it wasn't made for lowered cars. *scrape* *scrape* hangs way too low. i do have plenty umi stuff though, all works great (i got their tranny brace, strut bar, lcas, torque arm and subframes)
