Honestly I went UMI because they were having a sale at the time I was ordering parts. I've been immensely satisfied with their products ever since. SO much so that the only non-UMI parts under my car are either Strano or the SLP subframe connectors that were welded in by the previous owner.

i believe in 2007 or 2008 i had a problem with my UMI torque arm. I believe it was Ryan @ UMI took care of it no problem. 3 F-Bodies later and in 2016, UMI all the way!

All of them fit and work very well. I have Spohn engine mounts, BMR transmission crossmember, Founders LCA's and panhard. I haven't yet bought anything UMI only just because of fluke, but i'll probably buy their bolt in chassis connectors next and I expect they will too fit and work nicely just like the others components. It appears they are all quality companies.
I think BMR was first to develop more hardcore suspension parts for the 4th gen back in the early years when these ls1 cars were already running crazy numbers with their suspension parts, so I have some respect for them for that for seeing the 4th gen as a great performance platform while others yet hadn't.

I have BMR subframe connectors, a UMI relocation crossmember, will run strano hollow swaybars, Will probably go UMI roto poly LCAs.... Whatever works best for me. I'm not brand loyal when all are quality parts. It is more a matter of what is on sale, and what will work best for me.
