Suspension Advice I have a 2002 camaro that I lowered with bmr lowering springs and shocks. Since then I have put a LQ4 6.0 block in it and it lowered my car enough that I had to put .5 inch spacers in it to raise the car up enough for me to drive it. Well I am about to want to go to a tublar front suspension or a air ride suspension. I more leaning toward the tublar type but if anyone has had and experience with the air ride let me know. I was wondering want brand of tublar suspension is the best and any advice or experiences would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks
Thanks
I purchase exclusively UMI suspension components. They are very high quality, have good warranties, and their customer service is top knotch.
They sell everything you need. Tubular upper and lower A arms, etc. They also make very nice Tubular K members.

What do you mean by tubular? Are you talking about control arms? K-member?
FWIW, I did go the shock spacer route like you and it worked just fine...but youll need longer bolts. No I've heard of tubular lower a-arms breaking...but Ive never seen it. But the logic behine the stresses in those parts has always made me just a little hesitant of buying them. Now UMI makes a boxed lower arms that looks pretty beefy...but you loose much of the weight savings.
