I just put a 9 inch in the car (1999 z28 M6) and am about to buy a few rear suspension pieces such as a transmission cross-brace with the torque arm relocator on it as well as a torque arm and rear sway bar for now. I like the Spohn 22mm rear sway bar because it is made of chromoly ans is the same price as the steel ones but for the torque arm and torque arm relocation bracket, which one is going to be stronger and better as far as fitment and who has the best prices on these? I do have texas speed true duals.

I think both are great companies. I went with UMI and I couldn't be happier and their customer service is excellent

I dunno; I've always been partial to UMI and once you take into consideration how people are short on cash nowadays , I still choose UMI for the prices:

BMR Bolt-in Relocation Brackets: 99.95
UMI Bolt-in Relocation Brackets: 89.95

BMR On-car Adj. Poly/Rod LCA's: 239.95
UMI On-car Adj. Poly/Rod LCA's: 179.95

BMR On-car Adj. Poly/Rod Panhard bar: 139.95
UMI On-car Adj. Poly/Rod Panhard bar: 128.95

BMR Trans. Mounted Adj. Torque Arm: 299.95
UMI Trans. Mounted Adj. Torque Arm: 269.95

BMR Lower Poly/Rod A-Arms: 439.95
UMI Lower Poly/Rod A-Arms: 378.95

Take it for what it's worth; jus' cross-pricing products.

i got all my suspension from UMI and i couldn't be happier. never once had a complaint about their product (except when Fedex delivered my LCA's to the wrong address and it took 2 months to get them back) and i always got something on sale!

Wow this whole time I thought BMR was cheaper then UMI, I'm going with UMI now lol.

the WS6store is a big vendor for UMI and they always have sales. they price match all the time and i got everything but my heads from that place!

Yup, UMI is consistently cheaper and I usually take advantage when they throw their periodic discounts every now and then.

I purchase a lot of my UMI parts from byunspeed. Stuff is always on sale and shipping is free over $100 dollars you spend, I think. I always spend enough money to get free shipping. Both companies make good products. I've had BMR parts before and I liked them. I bought some UMI stuff and I have just continued to do so.

Spohn 1" rear drag sway... car handles better, reduced body roll in corners and launches strait

everything else on my car is UMI, thier customer service is great

the only time I've heard anyone complain about suspension from any vendor is when they bought stuff they should have thought about twice or researched a little more.

You know you can "edit" right?

UMI goodies here....all things being equal in terms of performance, $10 or $20 either way directly from either of isnt a big deal. You can usually find either on sale competively priced through the vendors. My choice for UMI was primarily finish. Hammertone (BMR - black) vs smooth powder (UMI)

Would you guys say it's failrly easy to install these things yourself, LCA, relo. brac. and a PHB? ? Never done before and wouldnt mind doing them myself to save on installation.

Never a single fittment issue with any of my UMI products on my past two builds. UMI gets my vote every time.

I went with UMI because:

A). They are cheaper, but still quality parts
B). I didn't want s hammertone STB in my black engine bay
C). BMR has had some flaws and issues in the past (remedied now FWIU but still something to take note of IMO)
D). I have never been anything but happy with UMI's customer service.

The LCA's and PHB are simple installs. The relo. brackets require some cutting on the bracket your brake lines and parking brake are connected to in order to make fit. It isn't hard, but may be a bit too thick for the dremel without going through a LOT of cuttings wheels. You'll want a sawzall or a decent electric/pneumatic cut off wheel.
