We Need Another UMI GP!

We need another GP through UMI! Someone who started one with them before would probably make it easier. Anyone just simply interested just make your mark on this thread, so we can see what we're dealing with. If it comes down to it I'll try to get one started with UMI myself.

Hello,

Thanks for the interest

Yes there is, we are currently working on a tunnel mounted torque arm
for the 82-92 models now. The torque arm relocation kits should be on
the board next. Please check back shortly for more information.

Thank you!

I bought the relo brackets, tubular LCA's, Wonderbar, Adj.Panhard bar and SFC's off UMI last year. I must say, I am greatly impressed by these products and reccomend anyone on getting UMI stuff to go through with it. As I bought all the parts already, obviously I won't be needing anything else. Unless of course you people we're in the GP for say some A-Arms?

UMI doesn't make A-Arms for the thirdgens and Spohn doesn't do GP's, if you didn't know that already. I've asked BMR(BMRFABRICATION.com) and..."You may want to give one of our distributors a call and see if they would be interested. We don't like to run group purchases anymore due to it being a direct competition to our distributors. Thanks for the inquiry.
Thanks,

That's right. Well the only parts I need are the Torque arm, A-Arms and K-Frame. I would also go with BMR for those pieces. Oh and I picked up an Edelbrock Strut brace along with the rest of my suspension...what a difference!

Heh, thanks! It's not done yet. I still have to order a bigmouth/Accel/Edelbrock base to go with my runners and port my new plenum. I'm looking for 250whp/315-320wtq. I think I'll achieve it easily with what I have. Few more pieces to add here and there to pick up a couple more...

Bringing back. I would be VERY interested in a GP of LCAs, SFCs, and possibly LCA relocation brackets.

If this new tunnel mounted TQ arm comes with the 2 additional bolt holes to fit a 9" rear, I'm all over it! I'd get the 9" LCA relocation brackets too!!
