I like all my UMI parts. I would go with UMI or BMR, whichever can give you the better deal.

Hello,

Thanks for the interest in our products.

We have very good reputation for making quality products.. as do the other companies so you will get a mix of opinions on all three brands.

Please PM me the items you are interested in and I will be glad to supply a price and see what I can do.

Thank you!
Ryan

I have had several F-Body's and I have put stuff from everyone on my cars...... I can not complain about the products from anyone!!
I can tell you that I just bought another Camaro SS last week and I decided to do a complete suspension on the car. I checked around for the best price/customer service ...... and I can tell you that Ryan at UMI was great to deal with! He answered all of my questions, responded quickly and went out of his way to help me!! To me that goes a long way..... I ordered my stuff from him and I cant wait to get it on the car! If the product quality is close... go with the highest level of customer service! That is Ryan hands down!

Another vote for UMI's customer service here! I've had good results with them and they stand behind their products which is a BIG deal. Items ship promptly as well.

I have a Spohn T/A, but everything else is BMR. I am extremely happy with the quality of their products.

I would personally go with either UMI or BMR since they are LS1Tech sponsors and I've seen them to have good customer service on here.

Spohn is a sponsor too. They all make decent parts, sometimes it depends on the intended use more than anything. For example, if you were an all out drag racer you could get BMR's massive boxed LCA's; or if you auto cross a lot, you could get UMI's massive road race K-member.

For the most part they're all about the same, sometimes you just need a part that one company makes beefier then another. I don't think you'll be disappointed getting those parts you want from anyone though.
