Default UMI Parts Came In Yesterday

Well my UMI Shock Tower Brace & Adjustable Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm with DSL along with hardware came in yesterday to match my UMI Adjustable Lower Control Arms with Relocation Brackets and Single Adjustable Panhard Bar I got earlier this year... so now just waiting on my 3-Point Subframe Connectors to come in that shipped out today...

Taking the car to Nick Williams shop over here in NC, whenever my college schedule allows me sense it seems like for every hour his mechanic takes it takes me 3-4 times as long to do the same stuff... so I'll just let him make it look easy haha

And here are some pics and will post some when the parts are on the car...

dude, everything in that pile takes 15-20 minutes to put on. panhard bar is 2 bolts, control arms are 2 bolts each, shock tower bar is 4 bolts, and thats on top of the car. if the relo brackets are bolt on, they are easy then too. the only "tough" thing is the tq arm and tunnel brace since you'll need to remove the drive shaft to install that, and even that shouldnt take more than an hour or two

Awesome, good luck with the install.

It seems like everyones goes with red parts. I know your car is red but even on black cars. Just a random observation.

UMI makes some great parts.

all my suspension parts are black, and i have a red car.....the only things that are not black are the strano springs (white) and the Koni shocks (yellow)....and that's only because they don't offer different colors.

Cool. It was a just a random observation; it just seems like most people who buy aftermarket suspension parts get them in red regardless of the cars color.

Looks nice, what hole did you set your torque arm mount in?, also does your torque arm bolts on the rear come close to the tunnel?
