I’m planning on doing the rear trailing arms and toe rods in two weeks. Just would really like to know if any ones used them and how long they have had them. Doesn’t look like I’ll get a answer before I buy them we’ll see.

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

UMI make pretty decent parts. I don't have anything from them mounted on any of our cars, yet, but a friend with a 4th Gen Camaro has pretty much a complete UMI suspension under it, front and back. He says the ride and handling is MUCH improved.
