Umi+ afco?

High all, I recently tried putting afco coilovers on my Fbody with umi'a lower transvers shock mount. I guess they don't jive together, anyone else have this issue?

Send me a PM with your address and info we will send out a newer set. We recently updated the bracket to work with Afco shocks. The Afco shock body is a lot larger. You may be able to run the shock up side down as well if the hat is the right hat. That is how we run most of ours.

Or get me that info and we have a new set I will send out.

Thanks,
Ryan

Wow, great customer service, will be sending you info, as the top of shock is a stud so I can't flip it.

As Ryan stated we have recently revised our mounts to accept the larger body Afco shocks.

If anybody needs anything feel free to call me here at the shop.
