UMI rear susp pkg

98TAjwh · 11-07-2009, 05:52 PM

after recovering from a pinched nerve i was able to put my new UMI phb and lcas on today. i must say they made a dramatic improvement. before when i would hammer the gas my car would fish tail the the right, but not any more

. i do wish i would have gotten the adjustable setup, but i'm still happy with the non-adj.

so what should i do next? the torque arm/drive shaft loop package, or sway bars?

Torque arm with relocation brace to get it off the tailshaft. Sway bars are definitely helpful to dial in your suspension. Look at Sam Strano's sway bars. They are 35/22.

well if your goin drag racin you'll have to have the driveshaft loop not everyone will check for it but it has to be there especially with sticky tires

that as well as the k-member, torque arm relocation trans bracket, and the rear drag bar will also be going in

Hello
Its Great to hear that you are satisfied with our quality and performance! I noticed that you are wondering what to do next. Well depending if you are looking for handling I would suggest the sway bars. And if you are looking for performance I would suggest going with the torque arm to help with weight transfer. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

thanks fot the input Brad. i kinda want the best of both worlds. i want my car the handle great on the streets as well as the track. that being said, i think i'll go with sway bars first. how would the torque arm affect my street performance?

Hello
Its not so much how it helps your street performance! It is just that if you go with a adjustable torque arm you will have the fine tuning capabilities by allow you to set your pinion angle. Seeing how it is a street car I would suggest going with a full length arm and get a relocation cross member as well for extra insurance getting the arm off the rear of the transmission. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
