Default SFC's

My car is lowered 1.5 inches with H&R springs and I have the boxed BMR SFC's on. The only thing that I really lost out on was my LT Pacesetters scrape ever so slightly on speed bumps. Not to worry, they should work just fine.

See how low my catted y-pipe sits? Note the UMI subframe connectors and how they are NOT a part of the problem. They only lost me about 0.5" to 0.75" of ground clearance. Totally a non-issue, and the price was right, too.

I heard UMI was copying BMR..

Good thing i have both!

I have BMR's subframes, go them on a sale before the price increase so they cost me the same as UMI's do at normal price. UMI's are supposed to be built along the same specs as BMR's stuff.

I bought mine as part of a GP, so mine were a little less than the usual $140, but I forget how much they were, exactly. They are weld-in, and they were a great mod.
