Has anyone heard of UMI Performance They are out of PA. There web site is www.umiperformance.com . They have other stuff for the 3rd gen. Just wondering how good their products are. Pricing is not to bad.....

 

ive bought from them many times.. very good quality stuff.. those subframes look awesome.. i saw some on Ebay for 199$ good buy if you ask me..

im using their lower control arms and control arm brackets. the owner of the company is very nice to deal with and very helpful.

 

Thanks for the info... Thats where I saw them.

Do you have their subframe con. on your car. Do you have any pics.

 

no i saw a guy who had them on.. very nice.. looks like they fit pretty well..

 

I wonder if they will interfear with my exhaust. I have true duel with flowmasters and dump before the axle...

 

How about Kenny Brown SFC. How do they compair with the one from UMI, BMR, Spohn.....

The only thing about the one from UMI that I'm wondering about is how bulky they look, and is it going to hang down alot after they have been installed....

 

well the one i saw didnt hang down more than 1/4" if that.. and didnt appear to interfere with hooker 2055 Y pipes

 

brdofpry85ta, you will not find a single person that has anything bad to say about the KB sfcs. They are reasonably light from the feedback I've heard, and to me, they look to be the best designed of any on the market. They are definitely not competitively priced with others though. The cheapest I can find them is $265.05 + $17.95 S/H.

 

Thanks for the info everyone, now I just have to decide which one to get.....

 

Juat wanted to add Spohn Performance for another comparison. I have them on my 91 Z and they work awesome. Optional chromoly material is availabe and they are hidden completely. Only dilemna is they are weld in only. Spohn.net is the website, I think.

I installed a set for a friend. Ugh. Couldnt get the welds right. Square tubing would have been alot better too.

I have Alstons on my car and love them.

 

I perfer square tubing also. I also perfer to have a set of sfc with a bigger dimension that are able to take the torque of a bigger motor so that my car wont twist.

 

round tubing is alot stringer though.

 

Yes, while that is true, try to weld a circle onto a square and tell me what happens. The alstons are round BTW.

What I was referring to though, is if they were going to put the SFC's in the location they did, they could have at least used square tubing to make installation about 500 times easier.

 

id have to agree. Round tubing fitment is not as easy to install as the boxed type. It is harder to get correct and harder to weld.

- hard to compare round vs square when you're looking at two totally differently designed connectors.

 

Is almost up to preference and personal option which sfcs someone buys and installed. One thing is for sure though any sfc will be a great improvment. Each have their pros and cons.

 

I like the UMI SFCs shown in the picture because they have a place for the lower control arms to attach to. My lower control arm points are rusty, thin and beat...
