The UMI rear coilover mounts with lower control arm relocation are just simply amazing!! Well made, well engineered. very beefy, just perfect. Originally Posted by Rwolf15241

I get the banners from the companies that support me. I have them bc of this build thread and all the pics, as well as my twitter feed, instagram page, shop facebook page and my youtube channel....I'm a media junkie and they get a lot of exposure. Originally Posted by BlackMachOne

Man a lot has been going on this summer....I have an update for what's been going on ever since about mid April of 2015. It's going to be very detailed with personal life stuff...car stuff good and bad...and some event stuff. I haven't been feeling well the last month or so and that's why I haven't been on here but I am starting to feel better and I have a lot to put up here!! To be honest I have been on facebook and Instagram a lot more then I have been on here but that's coming to an end. There will lots of pics so stay with me....it will be worth it.

OK this update is going back to Feb-March of 2015, before the big build day.
I sent my clutch, stock flywheel and billet GM flywheel to Centerforce just to make sure everything was in spec...and this is what was returned along with a freshly balanced stock LT1 t56 flywheel and brand new Dual Friction clutch!!! Can't thank those guys enough for looking out for me!!!

Since I did the SC&C upper control arm bolt upgrade back when I had the Stage 2 plus set up...I can no longer use the stock hardware that comes with most control arms. The bolt upgrade btw is just a larger diameter bolt...but in order to use them you need to drill out the mounting holes on the frame. This is all and well until you decide to switch arms......then you need to do this!! #fail

Here are the UMI Performance rear coilover brackets with LCA relocation complete and powdercoated gloss black. These are some nice pieces!!!
The rear housing was cleaned up and painted with Chassis Black.
Some parts waiting to go back onto the motor...
