UMI Performance LCA's worth to buy?
#16
I'm more than happy with all of my UMI stuff.
Something to check out for a street/strip/handling LCA is the J&M Products piece: https://www.camaroz28.com/articles/jmbushing/

From the UMI website: These control arms are constructed of DOM mild steel tubing 1.625" OD x 0.120" wall thickness... with Energy Suspension® polyurethane bushings
From the BMR website: tubular control arms use...1-5/8" x .120 wall tubing...Both designs utilize stiff, low deflection polyurethane bushings. Rubber bushings also available for all control arms.
You do realize that 1 5/8 = 1.625, right?

BMR's site says "Our brackets are made from TIG welded 1/4" 4130 chrome moly, these brackets are just as strong yet weigh less than the bulky aluminum brackets currently available" and they are powdercoated.
So there are some differences. In this case I'd go with the BMR pieces. They cost less too.

UMI's site says "Our brackets are CNC machined from Aluminum 2024." and they appear to be hard anodized.

With that being said seeing how the Baer brackets flex I would not trust the 1/4" steel ones.
