UMI's Stage 3.5 kit is designed to transform your GM G-Body from a grandma cruiser to a capable corner carver with the twist of the wrist. UMI's lowering springs form the handling foundation and are controlled by UMI's premium rebound adjustable shocks. UMI's ultra-premium springs feature carefully tuned rates and high quality construction to eliminate the floating feeling and will tie your G-body directly to the road. The UMI monotube shocks rebound adjustmentallows you to fine tune your ride whether you're doing back road heroics or shaving that last tenth of a second between the cones. UMI a-arms feature tubular construction, Delrin bushings for precise steering and caster corrected uppers.

Front Sway Bar

UMI Performance 1.250" (32mm) solid front sway bar is designed to reduce body roll, understeer and increase corning capabilities resulting in a more balanced suspension. This front sway bar is more rigid than the factory 7/8" front sway bar and bolts directly in place with no modifications. This Front sway bar is manufactured from 1.250" 4140 chrome moly steel, CNC bent and formed as one piece to insure maximum strength and performance. Each kit includes new Energy Suspension end links and greaseable sway bar bushings with new zinc plated clamshells. Sway bar is available powder coated bright red or gloss black for a durable long lasting finish.

Rear Sway Bar

This beefy 1" solid rear sway bar is designed to reduce body roll, understeer and increase corning capabilities resulting in a more balanced suspension. This rear sway bar also works excellent to keep your vehicle level and straight during those hard launches. This sway bar is manufactured from 1" solid 4140 chrome moly steel, heat treated and formed as one piece to insure maximum strength and performance. This sway bar is heat treated and formed as one piece, this processallows the bar to maintain its shape and memory longer than a cold bent bar.

Rear sway bar includes all new Grade 8 hardware to complete the installation and is available powder coated Bright Red or Gloss Black.

Lower Rear Arms

UMI's tubular lower control arms utilize their Roto-Joint technology for a bind free performance and quiet comfortable ride quality. The Roto-Joint design is a pivot ball lined with a greaseable delrin race designed to offer 28 degrees of total unrestricted movement, more than adequate for a bind free, low friction operation. The Roto-Joint design improves performance over the factory rubber and aftermarket polyurethane bushings by allowing the suspension to articulate correctly, and provide precision handling. The installed UMI Roto-Jointallows rear end free movement when high handling, auto cross or road race is a concern while still being a 100%25 streetable setup. The installed delrin race, which lines the spherical ball, absorbs shock and road noise for a quiet and smooth operation on any street or track driven vehicle. This control arm set features polyurethane bushings on one end and UMI's swivel Roto-Joint on the other end. This set-up is designed for street performance and street enthusiast. The polyurethane bushing end is designed to be bolted to the vehicle chassis side while the Roto-Joint attaches to the rear end side. Since the polyurethane bushings are softer they are designed to absorb more road noise and shock before it enters the passenger compartment of the vehicle. Both control arms feature the correct provisions for adding a stock or aftermarket sway bar. Sway bar holes are reinforced with a 0.120" wall thickness steel sleeve that is TIG welded and sanded into place. All bushing ends and Roto-Joints are greaseable and low maintenance making an excellent street setup for your cruiser!

Control Arm Reinforcements/Frame Braces

Trailing arm mount braces are designed to reinforce the rear upper and lower front control arm mounts on your 78-88 G-Body vehicle. The more power your ride makes the better chance of bending or breaking the rear control arm mounts. These tubular reinforcements tie the upper and lower rear control arm mounts together for added strength and driving performance. The UMI Performance braces are bent to contour the floor of the vehicle, unlike some competitor"s designs these reinforcements do not require the floor to be dented or pounded for correct fitment. Control arm braces are manufactured from DOM steel; TIG welded and feature adjustment for a perfect fit on all 78-88 G-Body"s. This kit includes new longer Grade 8 bolts, lock nuts and washers for a 100%25 bolt in installation.

Upper Rear Arms

Eliminate wheel hop, increase traction and improve handling performance with an easy bolt on installation. UMI Performance"s adjustable upper controls feature on car adjustability and are supplied with spherical Roto-Joints. The Roto-Joint design is a pivot ball lined with a greaseable delrin race designed to offer 28 degrees of total unrestricted movement, more than adequate for a bind free, low friction operation. The Roto-Joint design improves performance over the factory rubber and aftermarket polyurethane bushings by allowing the suspension to articulate correctly, and provide precision handling. The installed UMI Roto-Jointallows rear end free movement when high handling, auto cross or road race is a concern while still being a 100%25 streetable setup. The installed delrin race, which lines the spherical ball, absorbs shock and road noise for a quiet and smooth operation on any street or track driven vehicle.

For ease of adjustment UMI has designed these upper control arms with on car adjustability. Pinion angle adjustments can easily be made in the garage or at the track and making adjustments is as simple as loosening two jam nuts. Using UMI's chrome moly on car adjuster, simply turn the adjuster with the control arms attached to the vehicle to quickly lengthen or shorten the control arm. As the control arms are shortened or lengthen the rotate the rear end changing the pinion angle. Pinion angle adjustments are crucial when wanting to lower your track 60 foot times, increase traction and reduce unwanted wheel hop.

• n car adjustable using a chrome moly, heat treated adjuster
• ounting plate CNC machined from 0.250" thick mild steel
• 140 chrome moly threaded tube adaptors
• pherical Roto-Joints installed

Polyurethane Rear End Housing Replacement Bushings

Replace your rubber OEM rear end housing with an Energy Suspension polyurethane setup. Over years, rubber OEM bushings dry rot, crack and harden, decreasing your ride quality and performance. The Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings replace the two upper control arm rear end differential bushings--the bushings that stay attached to the rear end. This is an excellent upgrade for your street or track driven vehicle. (2 per set)

More about Roto-Joint Technology

UMI's Roto-Joint, short for Rotational Joint,allows 28 degrees of total rotation and unrestricted movement throughout the vehicles suspension. The Roto-Joint is designed to work like a spherical rod end while maintaining streetable qualities of a softer bushing. The Roto-Joint is designed to articulate and prevent suspension bind, and since the installed delrin race does not deflect like softer bushings, there is an improvement in traction and a significant reduction in wheel hop. The construction of the Roto-Joint features a 4140 chrome moly, hard chrome plated spherical ball which rotates in a delrin race. The 4140 chrome moly material and hard chrome plating are designed for extensive wear resistance against hard driving and accumulated miles. The spherical ball rotates in the CNC machined delrin bushing, which is contoured for the spherical ball to allow unrestricted movement as the ball rotates. Delrin is the bushing material of choice due to its high resistance against wear, great tensile strength, and ability to maintain its physical properties. The housing of the Roto-Joint features 4140 chrome moly threads, and a CNC machined bushing holder TIG welded together for the utmost in strength and durability. The UMI Roto-Joint is adjustable and 100%25 rebuildable. This means as the delrin race wears the adjuster ring can be tightened using the optional spanner wrench to apply tension to the ball. If the delrin race would ever wear completely it can be replaced easily.

Spanner Wrench
This spanner wrench is used for adjusting and disassembling Roto-Joints used in all UMI Performance products. Over time if the delrin race inside the Roto-Joint would wear the spanner wrench is used to tighten the adjusting ring applying more pressure to the delrin inside. The spanner wrench is also used to disassemble the Roto-Joint for cleaning, inspection and rebuilding.
