New Suspension Installed Yesterday we had some very nice weather so I tore into my SS. Installed UMI SFCs, LCAs, LCA Relocation brackets, Adj Panhard Bar, Strut Tower Brace, Strano springs, and SLP Bilsteins. Installation was straight forward and took about 5.5hrs. Car rides and handles great and in my opinion does not feel like a limp noodle driving down the road now. This car only has 9900 miles on it so it came apart very easy. Anyone looking for suspension parts give UMI and Sam Strano a call. Both Sam's and UMI's products are top notch and I had zero issues with the directions. Now I need to install my adjustable torque arm and roll the fenders!

rear spring isolators in or hose mod?
can you give measurements at all 4 wheels? (ground to fender arch)

Used the rear spring isolators It would be way to low in the rear with a hose mod. Ground to wheel well measurments are right at about 27" front and rear. I think Sam says expect 27" rear and around 26" front after they settle a little.

Thank you, It is mint and I had a very hard time getting up the courage to fit 315's and do all of the mods but, It rides night and day better and looks better so not a total loss. I did decide to keep all of the original parts for the off chance I want to sell the car ever.
