I have heard nothing but great things about UMI. I plan on purchasing a few items from them in the near future.

I ordered my panhard bar yesterday from UMI. I got a red pwdercoated non-adjustable one. In a few weeks I am ordering lower control arms.

it doesnt really screw it up... it increases it by like 10% ... i have a camaro performance handbook that tell you how too... it just wouldnt have the progressive rate that a eibach or somehitgn would have

Thats exactly where i got the idea. Is the book you have only for 3rd gens and has a blue 91 or 92 on the cover?

If in stock, should be within a week. If you are planning to lower your car, you should have bought the adj. panhard.

I thought about that, but that's probably the last thing I would do. My car needs an engine swap before it needs to be lowered.

Yeah, if you drop it your rear end will not be centered and the adj. PHR would center it back up. Also if and when you lower it, get the LCA relocation brackets. That will correct the angle of the LCA's and get the power back to the ground.

Not at all and most have 3 locations to adjust your LCA's.
