Let's not get into anyone disliking me on UMI's thread.
The wheels are 18x11 all around. 315/30-18 BFG Rival S. I run the same on my car, but here's the catch, the offsets are different on my car vs. UMI's car. So when folks think that everyone runs the same thing, well... they're wrong.
I can build the wheels like I did UMI's, or mine, or something else if we deem that correct for the customers needs.

I didn't think so. It was about others jumping on the statement, this is, after all, the internet.

The K-member is currently in this kit. Because of the changes it makes you need to run our a-arms as well, so for now we have only packaged it.

Dear UMI,
I have a few ?'s, my car is mostly street, potentially some drag and some auto-x.
I recently purchased the following parts:
p/n 2336 (stock factory upper a-arm mount)
p/n 2311 (non-adjustable upper a-arm) -> is this version the new one that allows more travel? I also purchased it in the delrin bushing option. Would you consider this to be the best option in a non-adjustable? Does this option have more caster / the ball joint moved like the other upper a-arms?
p/n 2307 (Tubular front lower a-arm delrin with rod end single adjustable). I originally purchased the p/n 2309 because I preferred the boxed version better, however the option to have one end be delrin and one end be rod end was not an available option.
p/n 2326 (Road Race K-Member).
.
Is the 2311 in delrin suitable on the street and drag? Is the 2307 suitable on the street and in drag? Finally will these parts work well with 2326? I hope I'm not losing much going from the boxed double adjustable rod to the tubular single adjustable rod with delrin bushing.
Everything else on the car is single adjustable poly / roto. Everything attaching to the body is poly and everything that articulates on the suspension is roto joint (single adjustable on car). Would the delrin upper front in conjunction with the delrin / rod front lower be a good pair together?
Am I missing much without the adjustable upper a-arms? Can I use the 2311 front upper a-arm with delrin in conjunction with 2336 factory replacement mount?
Thanks in Advance!

Good morning. Thanks for the message.
For updates, we've just been racing the '99 all spring and summer until a week or two ago.
#5 and #7 pistons tried, rather successfully, to swap holes. Kaboom.
Product-wise not much new other than we've been selling a ton of Watts Links and getting good feeback. Also the rear weight jacks are doing well.
Not too familiar with those bars. If you want, you can email me a few pics to look at for ideas. ramey@umiperformance.com
