Spohn or Umi

I know this one is going to be opinionated, but I would like to know the pros and cons of each. Its going in a street strip car 385 with 250+ shot fabbed ford 9 in.

Re: Spohn or Umi

Of LCA, torque arm trans cross memeber, pan hard bar anyone ever had trouble with them breaking. Am I paying for a brand name with spohn or is it just brand preference like holly vs eldelbrock

Re: Spohn or Umi

I've got a Spohn K-member, Umi crossmember, BMR torque arm and LCA relocation brackets and Founders lower control arms.

They all work great and they were all easy to install.

That's my opinion.

Spohn rear LCA, SFC's and panhard bar on my car for the last ten years with No problems and the red powder still looks brand new.

Re: Spohn or Umi

If the choice is between the two, I'd go with the one with the same quality at the lower price....UMI.

Re: Spohn or Umi

I'm sure in terms of quality, they are probably pretty close to the same. I like UMI as they are always on the forum to help out and seem to have an interest in making sure their products work as intended.
