hey guys, im buying all my suspension parts and i need some opinions. im lookin at the UMI Performance lift bars or the HPM megabites to replace the lower control arms. which bars are better? also whats a good coilover kit for the rear? thanks in advance
I run HPM Megabite Jr. LCA's and I am really happy with them. I don't know anything about the UMI's. There are two types of rear coil over. One installs in the stock shock location and the other you weld a bar between the framerails and then weld brackets to them and then to the axels.
I would also suggest a set of good adjustable upper controll arms, I have the HPM Megabite double adjustables which are really good for setting pinion angle which is critical to launch.
Some controll arms have sperical bushings which are good but hard on the torque boxes, and lift style controll arms are hard on the boxes as is, let a lone with solid bushings. Megabite Jr. LCA's have poly bushings. The uppers have a sperical bushing on the vehicle end and you either install it to the stoc axel bushing (not recomemded) or put a solid or poly bushing in there. Some badass cars run the HPM setup in the rear.
