After I have competed the UMI SFC GP I have organized I plan on emailing Ryan at UMI myself and asking if they could do a group purchase for adj lower control Arms. Would anyone other than me be interested. I am trying to see if there is enough demand for these before I take the time to try to organize it.

Thanks for your reply

The control arms from UMI that I am interested in are the double adjustable ones

 

Spohn does not do group purchases. Nor does he have sales. I think it's because he runs tight profit margins.

 

If Spohn does a GP then I am in.

 

UMI makes nice LCA's, panhard bars, etc. too. Just do another group purchase with them. I'm sure Ryan would like all the business. Then in the future it will make group purchases with them easier - he'll have dealt with us many times over.
I'dd be interested in a group purchase for any of the following, LCA, panhard bar, or torque arm. (Ryan's supposed to have a version that bolts to the car, not the trans, available for 3rd gens anyday now. Would like an adjustable one with a driveshaft loop)
Anyway, sorry to go a little off topic, but just saying, why not stay with UMI???

I will email Ryan at UMI if there is enough interest in these LCAs for a GP.

Anyone interested?

 

They're nice, but are pricey. Is there a real need for those... or just the non-adjustable LCA. An adjustable panhard bar I understand, but for a street car, I don't know if there is a major benefit to those. I saw Ryan last summer (it was someone from UMI, thought it was him) and he told me the same thing, I could use the panhard, but to just get non-adjusting lca. He actually has a package deal on these 2 items (adjusting panhard & regular lca), maybe get a bit more of a deal on these???????????
Just thinking, I don't know.

 

from what i understand if your vehicle is lowered, as mine is, you need adjustable lcas/relo brackets, adjustable panhard rod/relo brackets and an adjustable torque arm. am i right? im not too sure of this myself. anyone got any ansewers?

 

What is the price of these LCA's in the first place ???

 

from UMI's 2005 summer catalog,
the ones above, tubular double adjustable chrme moly lca - $249.99/set
for some of there other ones,
tubular single adjustable lca - $169.99/set
tubular non-adjustable lca - $99.99/set
lca relocation brackets - $59.95/set

Panhard Bars,
tubular non-adjustable - $69.95
tubular single adjustable - $99.95
tubular on-car adjustable - $129.95
tubular double adjustable chrome moly - $169.99

Subframe Connectors,
$199.99 - so the group purchase on these is a good deal, for anyone looking for a set, buy them now.

They are also designing a torque arm similar to Spohn's I guess, relocated off the transmission tailshaft. Should be available now.
I talked to Ryan a while back, said it would be soon then (it was before winter then) and priced similar to the 4th gen version,
$349.99
$379.99 with driveshaft safety loop

 

I would be interested in some type of GP on these items..

looking for tubular non-adjustable LCA's
not sure on bushing type, though..

also interested in the tubular double adjustable PHB...
and possibly brackets as well.

and kicking myself now for not paying attention to the GP board and missing the SFC GP....

 

I am interested in these. They are almost identical to the Spohn parts and are cheaper. You have to add an extra $30 for the 4130 Chrome Moly at Spohn. That makes them $275 rather than $250 for the same thing from UMI...

 

I'd like to be in on this GP too.

 

Whitch would be better, tubular or boxed and do they have boxed. I could be interested to.....

 

Are we saving any money by doing a group purchase?

 

Im in if I can get the Tubular Non-Adjustable Lower Control Arms and weld in LCA relocation Brackets.

 

im interrested in some adj. lca's and panhard rod if can do a gp on the both or seprete let us know

 

im interested in adj. contol arms, panhard bar, and relocation brakets . let me kno whats goin on, like when we need to pay by and how much.
matt

 

coming to a theater near you......you may pic from the following:

-LCAs--tubular, adj, or double adj
-Panhard Rod--tubular, adj, or double adj
-Torque Arm--tubular, adj or non adj (see different ones on umi site)
-LCA relo brackets.

I am awaiting a reply from Ryan at Umi for prices and discount info. When I get it I will start another post in the GP area of TGO. I will Call it UMI Group Purchase---Variety of Components.

Keep an eye out.....

And if you want to ask a question here or are interested now post here for now untill i start up the other post.

 

sweet im in.

 

"-Torque Arm--tubular,adj., or double adj"?

 

Yes, as in...

tubular

adjustable

double-adjustable

 

What he ment was...

Was that a typo or do they have double adjustable Torque Arms??(not LCA's)

I myself would prefer something along the lines of the 1998-02 GM F-Body Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm - Long Tube Header Set-ups, only for a third gen car.

 

You DO NOT need adj. lca's. The lca relocation brackets are designed to be able to be used with stock lca's if you really wanted to, even on lowered thirdgens.

 

really gotta get this thread name changed LOL

 

Nice edit, ABJ88. That was LCA's.

Since there's going to be an entire slew of things on this next GP, why shouldn't a mod just lock this thread instead of renaming it. I'm sure irocstang will start a new thread when he receives prices from UMI.

 

Not to burst your bubble jade grey,but it was never "lca's". I've edited some things, but not that.

 

You don't have to lie to kick it... You DID say that. That is why I corrected you waaaaaaay up there in my post. Don't worry dude. Nobody cares that you copy and pasted the wrong sentence. We get it.

I still want to know what the "double adjustable torque arm" stuff is about myself. I am sure that was also just a typo.

 

Nevermind i guess i did. I thought he misread and you(wildkatkit52) corrected him. OOPS! Thanks for pointing that out ***! lol

 

yes sorry double adj torque arm was a typo. I thought i saw it on their site. I just checked and their is adj and non adj in a few different applications.

 

Talked to Ryan, He was saying that anyone can call him. If you spend $ 150.00 or more he'll give you 15% discount, on a package deal such as lca, tq arm panard bar tell him your from the TGO . But if we get a group purchase going again on one item He might be able to do deal like on the sfc's.

-lca reloc. brackets
-adj. panhard bar
-adj. torque arm

 

got this email from Ryan at UMI today. It reads:

"I can not do any better then a 20% discount, thats the most I can do. So here is what it will be below, and I will get your pricing sometime soon.

10-29 people would be 15% off the entire order excluding the shipping.

30+ People people would be 20% off the entire order excluding the shipping.

Let me know which one everyone wants to do and I will set up a coupon code for that amount of a discount.

Thanks
Ryan"

Once I get pricing and a little more info on products I will start a new Post called UMI Suspension Components GP.

Keep your eye on the GP area of TGO.

Any thoughts about this? Anyone interested?

Please post

 

So any part can be ordered?

If so can one person order 4 parts and count for 4 orders??? That would make it easier on us. Makes sense to me anyway.

Nevermind... I will post that answer as I just went ahead and asked Ryan a few things.
