i am getting my tax rebate soon and am getting LCA's and PHB.
id like to get UMI parts because they seem like the best out there for the $$$

i am looking at their single adjustable, poly/rod combo parts.
anybody have any complaints about them?

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the UMI parts.....have NO complaints what so ever here...great service, fast shipping, and IMO the best parts.....far superior than competetors parts...IMO..

 

I have almost every part available from UMI for 3rd gens. I love them, UMI has gone out of their way to help me out on 2 occasions.

I do suggest the double adjustable panhard bar though. It's much nicer/easier to make the adjustment with it on the car.

 

I don't think you will have any problems with our products

If you have any questions please contact our sales staff at 814-857-5400 or sales@umiperformance.com and they will be glad to assist you.

Thank you!

I too would like the double adjustable parts but...
A) how likely is it to undo itself
B) how much louder will it be
C) how often will I really be adjusting it

 

ZERO complaints here, on any of the parts I've installed so far.


A) Nothing I have has undone itself/loosened the jam nuts
B) I've noticed no increased noise, from my rod ended parts
C) The adjustability factory isn't about having to change it often. But rather, the option to get it right.

My rearend, on my NON-lowered GTA, was off-center by almost a full inch, despite the good bushings. Now it is centered. 8)

 

ok, i was just worried about the jamb nuts loosening over time.
well then i guess i will get their SFC's, LCA'a and PHB all at once.
i think i will still get single adjustable because of the cost unless there is a great reason not to...
anyone?

i will be placing the order later tomorrow night

 

UMI is great

 

i have a complaint, with all the stuff i've ordered from them i never received any STICKERS!!!!!!!

Other than that, they are truly top-notch products, You wont be disappointed

 

i got there single adjustable panhard bar and there LCARBS... love the products. i would get the single adjustable if you are worried about money then get the singles... they will still give u what u want. they have the one spherical rod end that helps with binding but the poly bushing will help with vibrations etc. i have yet to get any increased vibrations but sometimes it does happen.

they do not loosen over time(jam nuts) but i would like UMI to kno that my panhard bar spherical end has seemed to have locked up... cant swivel it with my hand. takes a good bit of force to swivel it at all.

 

gotta keep them clean and lubed, or they will do that

 

That means it's time to replace that rod end. Rod ends don't last very long, one of the downsides of em. I replace mine with Johnny Joints

It's worth the extra $20 to get the double adjustable panhard bar. It really does make it so much easier to use. Like Stephen said, and we both speak from experience. It's not how often you'll be adjusting it, it's how much easier it will be to adjust and get it right.

The LCA's are fine for the single adjustment.

 

uve used the super lube spray and super lube poly grease that i purchased with my UMI stuff. still its kinda locked up

 

Rod ends don't last very long, even when lubed properly. They are designed to be replaced often.

 

how often?
once a year?
6 mos?

any less than a year and i am going to have to re-think this

 

Mine lasted about 2 years before I noticed noise. Now, at 3, they really need to be replaced. But that is with the pre-China QA1 rod ends Spohn uses. The ones QA1 makes now are from China, and I hear the quality blows. I do not know what ends UMI uses, but I'm sure they do haha. I plan to replace mine with either rubber ends (like the body end on my LCAs), the $40-50 per rod ends I can't remember the name of, or Johnny Joints. Probably Johnny Joints, though.

 

I have over 40K miles on their LCA's and panhard. No problems. Great place to deal with too.

All poly

 

I have no complaints at all, however, I too wish I would have gotten some stickers. I wouldn't put them on the actual suspension parts, but I would attach them to a magnet and put the magnets on my car whenever I race or maybe even for some local car shows. It would be a simple way for me to spread the word about their great products.

Hopefully they can send me some stickers/magnets. They would get a lot of exposure due to the 10+ autocross events I compete in every year and all the local car shows I show up to every year.

i cant beleive they wear out that fast... makes me think i should stick with my poly end tubular ones i made. they'll last 20+yrs.

 

They wear out faster, but at least they won't bind. Another option is the poly-ball pieces from hotpart/J&M. I would think they would out last rod ends but have similar benefits.
