UMI Performance - anyone know anything about their products?

I'm seeing them doing some posting on Ebay, and their prices seem reasonable (at least for panhard rods and LCA's). Has anyone actually tried their products? I've been leaning toward Spohn, but want to make sure I consider all my options before I commit hard-earned cash.

It looks like they also carry (at least some) torque arms, and the products, based on pictures, APPEAR to be quality units...

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

GREAT stuff

I have their LCA's and compared to other suspension pieces I have they are at least as good if not better. Strong tubing, nice looking welds and as you can see for yourself, much cheaper than stuff from spohn.

I just put on the UMI LCA's and the adjustable panhard on my SC, they are very nice pieces for the money and they really made a differance in my car!

Well constructed.

Thanks guys - I really appreciate the input.

It looks like their E-Bay prices are right about where there on-line prices are - I'm not sure there's much savings there, but I think I'm goin to order some of their stuff. I've been saving up for a Panhard rod and a torque arm (got some LCA's already - of course - theor adjustable LCA's look like REALLY good products...)

I was kind of wondering why I hadn't heard more about them before - and there have been a few other guys selling stuff on E-Bay that has looked a bit questionable in terms of it's real value.
