Looks good. I started out with red parts...but now I'm migrating back to black lol.
That looks like a hella lot of camber. Might just be the angle of the picture. What you use the car for?

Re: Finally Installed my UMI Performance goodies!!
Another satisfied UMI customer. I highly doubt theres anyone out there who buys from UMI, thats disappointed unless parts arrive late

Back on topic. I have all the same parts in my car (except my LCA's are Hotchkis) and have to say what a world of difference these parts make. Every 3rdgen I've owned has had UMI parts in it at some point. When my friends ask me about suspension parts, I immediately tell them to check out the UMI site and pick what you want, in what colour etc. Needless to say, they are quite happy when the parts arrive and then installed on their cars.

Your car looks awesome dude. Time for a Torque arm now eh?

I think it is the picture angle. I use it for cruising not a dd or a racer....

It is my summer fun car and money pit

I was looking at the torque arm the other day when they were on sale. Did not pull the trigger because with a stock engine did not know why I would need it.

That is about how much camber I run my car at. Heck, I have to pull the cover off of my brake reservoir so I can get the adjuster tool on my Koni struts. I plan on getting an alignment in the spring, but I don't expect it to change all that much. I put about 2,000 miles on my car each year and do a ton of autocrossing (at least 1 event every month during Spring, Summer and Fall) with it if that makes a difference to anyone.
