Has anyone used any UMI stuff on your cars? I was looking at the torque arm kit to move the torque arm.

I installed all the UMI components I could on a road race Camaro in early 2006.

No issues at all after 1000s of laps on road course all across Texas and Colorado.

Best bang for the buck!! I got the torque arm, panhard and LCA from them. Improved a lot and got rid of some awful wheel hoping. Im running 19"ers and traction was a myth! With the UMI components it again chirped tires in second gear!!!
