Hey Everyone,
We will be releasing the K-member tomorrow evening and offering it at a special price as an introductory offer during our annual Thanksgiving Sale. The downfall is shipping times will be 3-4 weeks on this item and we don't have all our pictures completed yet. We have a few pictures but not an accurate one with for the LSX block or coil over set ups. We are hoping everyone will work with us on this and trust us to supply a quality product like we have done for past 9 years. The introductory offer will be a prebuy at a discounted rate.
Thanks!
Ryan

Ryan, I presume the whole catalog will be on sale? When does it start? I want to order up some A arms for my car so I can start assembling the front suspension and brakes. Also is shipping going to be free?

Summit has a sale going on. $340.
One question before I pull the trigger. The stock Poly are greaseable right?

Re: Redesigned Lower A-Arms for the 82-92 Camaro/Firebird
That statement sounds a bit misleading. Both would be greasable, just that yours are easier because the grease fittings. Put grease fittings in the stock a-arms & they'd be as easy as yours are.

Re: Redesigned Lower A-Arms for the 82-92 Camaro/Firebird
Awesome, another quick question. Is Summit still carrying the old version of the a-arms? Would it be a better bet to just order straight from you guys?

I am 99.9% sure that the A-arms Summit has in stock are the new version. We shipped them quite a few sets for the sale. So you can order from us or them

The current design, although will work great on a drag raced car is also very suitable for street driving and handling applications. Our 4th gen RR version is used for applications such as American Iron and CMC.
I hope that helps,

We're pretty close. The pads are in production now, first production run of 20 sets.
Road race version will be a week or two behind the standard version.
Hopefully we can get shipments out within the next few weeks.
The best thing to do is sign up for our newsletter at: http://www.umiperformance.com/catalo...page=subscribe
for when it comes out. Or, if you check on here I can give you the lowdown as well.
We are REALLY working on getting this right the first time. We want the k-member to bolt on perfectly and fit the maximum number of combinations upon release. We think you'll be thrilled.
Thanks for your interest and for choosing UMI!

I know we'll be fighting over the UMI IROC when it's back together. It's had four different prototypes in it getting everything lined up...

For the K-member it did. Not sure RR versions of the A-arms are necessary.

Re: Redesigned Lower A-Arms for the 82-92 Camaro/Firebird
There is actually no need for a RR version. The version we currently make has proven to withstand all abuse. We have been using our 1979 Monte Carlo as a test car for 2 years now, we use it for auto-x and road race, it has been attending more and more events each year. It uses the same a-arms as the 82-92 F-Body. I do recommend the Delrin bushing upgrade for handling applications. Here is a video of our Monte at the Syracuse Nationals autox put on by the American Street Car Series. It is headed to Pittsburgh next for the 1.6 mile road course.

My question, how much steering angle could I get out of these arms as opposed to the stock set up?

Now for 2" extended a-arms for us Driftnuts.
I believe we talked with BMR who said the Gen1-2? Camaro a-arms are 2" longer and almost everything is the same minus the spring perch.
Nice work nonetheless UMI.
