UMI- Love the parts Pretty much like the title says. Received all my new rear suspension components today including the tranny crossmember/ torque arm relocation bracket. Everything is top notch. No matter what others have told me the chromoly was definitely the way to go. The rod ends are beautiful also. One other pont worth mentioning is this company takes the time to actually speak with customers on the phone and answer questions no matter how dumb they may be. Parts arrived in 2 days pretty much like quoted not 4 weeks maybe, like some others. Can't wait to install when the weather here finally breaks. My vote definitely goes to UMI. Thanks again. Chris

My entire rear suspension save for springs and shocks is UMI parts. I also used to run their STB. Great quality/fitment on the parts and I've been impressed by their customer service on a couple different occasions. Speaking of which...I have a set of their SFCs also that will be going in very soon
Thank you!

i have some UMI stuff but it seems i am slowly switching over to UMI everything. right now i have their TA relcation crossmember, chrome moly double adj panhard, chrome moly STB, and i am picking up a set of rear LCA's, front k member and front tubular LCA's in the near future. extreamly good quality and great customer service. 99.9% of the time UMI sales answers peoples questions on this message board.

That tells me 2 things.
1) He's more than just a fabricator, he's one of us. He knows what works and how it works and what it's supposed to do, from experience, not from cue cards.
2) He cares enough about his customers that he's willing to spend his OWN time, not some time from a hired hand. That's dedication.
When was the last time Steve Spohn or Brett Rockey came on here and answered a question or just said thanks for buying my parts?
For me, that's why UMI stands head and shoulders above the competition.

got to agree UMI has some awesome parts and awesome customer service.
same thing can be said about byunspeed who i have bough my UMI parts from.
all my suspension parts (adj phb, adj lca's, and relocation brackets) are UMI.

... this is a hobby for me and not just a business. I love it... although it can be stressful and a lot of work operating the company I still make sure I sit down and talk with the customers... this is what I enjoy. Even with added sales staff I still can't get away, lolYou were one of our first customers 6 years ago and I appreciate the business! We have grown significantly since that time. We now operate out of a 14,000 square foot facility located on 3 acres of ground and now I employee (20) hardworking dedicated employees who are on mandatory overtime right now

I am getting OLD!!!It was just you and one other guy, IIRC, working out of a addition to your Dad's fab shop.
FWIW ... And those parts are still on that same race car. It turned a 1:27.xxx at Motorsports Ranch in Cresson this afternoon, coming in 5th in class in race 2.
Wanna see what those parts go through?

New style tires and we missed the air pressures badly! Ask any one who is running the new Toyo R888s. Car was on ICE!
Maybe you should stop selling such great parts. At this rate, I won't have to buy any more.
