I took a shot on a UMI RR piece, been pounding on it 2 years with zero issues now. Track, autocross, shitty CT roads, you name it. It's been awesome so far.
It opens up miles of clearance for headers, oil cooler lines, etc. Makes the car a million times easier to work on, plug changes are a snap. Put the car on a lift, unbolt the header and there better be someone to grab it because it will fall straight out and hit the ground. No issues with alignment slip, and I don't use the locking tabs although mine was built with them. Using stock LCA with global west spherical bearings tweaked by Blaine. Slots are longer in the UMI piece so you have a greater alignment range to work with. Like with any part on a track car, it gets a visual inspection before and after every time the car is driven in anger. So far zero issues. I wouldn't build another 4th gen without one, simply because it makes working on the car so much easier. The weight savings off the heaviest part of the car just makes the deal even sweeter. |
