New Caprice - Discussion forums

yeah most use BMR , but BMR doesnt have the bigger rod ends that you can lube , which is why i like the UMI's

ive got a friend that has UMI through her 2 3rd gen F-bodies , and they autoX and road race with them , and she hasnt had any failures with their parts

not yet , i do plan on ordering them when i swap in my ZL1 cradle

gotta run spacers on the fronts , i dont remember how big , check the SS forum

i know there is a caprice with them that has posted on facebook , front he used the 9's , the fronts he had widened to 10 or 10.5 rear

your best bet is to talk to a couple companies that do converters , and get their recommendations

also a good tuner can eliminate some if not alot of the surge you are getting

i did forget to mention the rear glass is the OE with the antenna in it , its just not used normally

Thank you for clarifying. I stand corrected. I actually won’t be needing the parts. My radio works fine without it which is odd. I noticed the radio antenna is attached to rear window.

that was done by the upfitter , ive seen a few like that , they use the stock antenna for their gear

you do know , these cars were made to run these high temps the oil needs 180 degrees + to burn off the contaminants , the cooling system itself is made to work with a 160 t-stat , and to make things worse you live in a cold climate temps in my 14 are constant , and never overheats and i like in hell...

try installing the 12-13 struts shocks , its well known the 11's were valved stiffer

the base on the 11 is a 1 year part # , 12-13 are the same # , 14-17 are the same

the mast is 11-13 , then 14-17

so they are not all the same

good info
