I smell trolls.... 6 posts since 9/2004 and 12 posts since 7/2003 respectively. Also notice that of Blahman's 6 posts, at least 3 were bashing other products, and another one was recommending a specific brand, and another was offering some advice about some parts from same said company. So 5 of 6 posts seem to have some bias.

Believe what you all want. I'm not putting much stock in it, sorry. I've seen the part. I've been to the UMI shop more than once and have seen the welds and workmanship. I'll vouch for the parts personally.

This K-member is so far beyond what the others ones available are it's silly. The fact there are two cross-tubes and not just one should be a dead giveaway that skimping wasn't in the plan, and that UMI's is much tougher than the others. It's the only one I'll sell.

i haven't done any suspension mods to my car yet, but i'm sure they lay waiting in the future. just by reading about UMI's comments from users - which are all amazing - they'll be my choice i'm sure. the fact that they deliver such consistent quality and are in some cases HUNDREDS cheaper than competitors blow my mind! they're prices are so much lower than BMR's counterparts and they all seem to have equal if not better quality.

just thought i'd throw that in to voice my opinion.

After seeing MANY suspenison pieces since 2000 ( global west, bmr, spohn ) you have to see these pieces from UMI to realize how BEEFY they all are too. Well put together and thought out.

I figured I'd try and put BlahMan's post in more "blah" terms.

Blahman or should I say "Kat" what is your objective here and on the other boards? To run UMI products down so people will tend to purchase items manufactured from the company you work for, Spohn.

Your post is very immature and says little about you and your position at Spohn, on a side note you make Spohn look immature as well. I suggest you grow up and lose the jealous attitude.

There is plenty of business out there for us all; I just don't have to down another company’s product to make a sale

Here is another post from Blahman or Kat, I suggest you register and read it.

Are things that slow that people need to look for reasons to run everyone else down? IMO, instead of wasting time posting about someone elses products (in a severly vindictive way to boot), maybe put the time and energy into figuring out why a product with such "bad" welds is selling so well - and how such a young company has taken off so well. But, what do I know, I don't even have a fbod anymore.

I will just ***ume you will defend your comments to be because you don't want to see someone get ripped off with sub-par craftsmanship, but I would say that the buying public has unlimited resources to these suspension companies to form their own opinions from real experiences, not some spiteful babble from an internet mudslinger who has a personal vendetta against UMI.

They call me T-Money baby!

BIG inside joke! Holla at 'cha bitches!

*EDIT* these pics don't have anything to do with UMI, but they sure go good with the immaturity in this thread.

Here's a hint, don't quit your day job to become Private Investigator. That's not Blahman.
