best lcarbs?

im looking to purchase some pretty soon and was just wondering who sells the best ones and has the best service reputation. i dont feel like waiting weeks for the part if dont have to. weld ins are fine and even if i get bolt ins i will weld them afterwards.

any opinions? quality vs price vs service whos ur favorite?

Im a big fan of UMI.

they have a gp going right now and you can save a couple bucks. the minimum amount of orders has already been met, so you should not have to wait.

Yep we have 15% off right now in the GP section until the end of this week.

We have both the weld in and bolt on's in stock

If you have any questions please ask and I will be glad to help.

Thanks!
Ryan

Re: best lcarbs?

I made the mistake of purchasing ElCheapo EBAY LCARBs and the time I spent installing them would have well been worth just paying extra and getting good ones. They did not fit correctly, I had to "massage" them on to the rear and then I had to convince the Spohn LCAs to go into them. Def spend the money and go with UMI (I have heard good things, Although I do not speak from experience)

Thats great to hear. I see many "cheap" items on eBay and I know there is problems with some of it. Glad to hear I am correct

Yah, I still might be buying LCARBs from you when i get rid of the full poly bushings on my LCAs... I made many mistakes when building my rear suspension up. How do you feel about poly bushings on both sides of the LCAs? I personally hate how they squeak (my main complaint) and I have heard that spherical rod ends will make it handle better. Any truthful experience here?
