Default UMI and BMR LCA comparisons

Well I just received the new UMI Adj. LCA to replace the seized BMR piece. I decided to take some comparison pics since I thought that some of you might be interested as potential buyers. Both pieces are very well made BTW and both are chromoly.

At first view, the poly bushing is bigger on the UMI piece but the actual metal sleeve, where thew bolt slides in looks beefier on the BMR one. The zerk angle is also a tad different.

UMI makes some great suspension products. All my suspension is UMI from front to rear.

Got UMI's in mine, but i got to tell you that the stock %$%&&#$ LCA's were a bitch to get out and unless you got the car up in the air i.e. on a lift forget it! Fortunatly I had to make a trip to Rev Extreme and I let Tracy do battle with removing the factory junk! But there was a huge difference once the new ones were installed!

Thanks for offering to order only one LCA. Now I'm running a BMR LCA on the passenger side and a UMI on the driver side.

Kind of funny if you ask me.

Because of the design, I noticed my BMR piece is basically maxed out (No more thread to adjust) while there is still room to adjust the UMI piece. Bonus
