Default Suspension Build Umi Boxed A Arms, BMR springs & Koni

Doing a little freshen up on the suspension. I had already done the rear UMI Lca, Ph, Chasis mount TA, 3 pt Subframes, and relocation brackets.

Front updated with UMI boxed A Arms, rebuilt uppers, Koni STR shocks , BMR springs all around and Stainless Brake lines. I got some 3.5" grade 8 hardware to attach to shocks but I'm going to go 4" because the bolts don't thread all the way through the nuts.

Updated the back also with ARP studs and going to run the Summit Drag shocks to get a few track times from the new EPS cam . Konis will go back on for the street.

I know I had a few PMs about the UMI boxed arms. They look awesome! I'll post some more pics once I get it off the jack stands.

I noticed you put the mount bolts in through the bottom with the nuts on top why did you do that..?
IMO, I'd install the bolts in through the top with the nuts on the bottom, that way if the nuts ever happen to come loose and fall off there's a lot less chance that the bolts will soon follow.

Not really an issue I had the other shocks on 50k and they never loosened up.
