it looks good except for the uppers, they should have a spherical bearing to prevent binding. The stock uppers are fabricated to twist when in a binding situation

I have the UMI uppers that have the roto joint. I have seen other companies that have a spherical joint but I don't know their names

You need boxed if you are going to tow. It also helps if your car has a mild raise for stability. Otherwise it's up to you! I'd say if you're not going to tow save your $$$ - most ppl cant afford new trailing arms those are going to make a big enough difference as it is

Hi Rasheerh.

Thanks for considering UMI.

Here's our catalog page for your car's rear suspension:
http://www.umiperformance.com/catalog/i ... cPath=8_60

Give me a call or email and I'm happy to help you pick what's best for your car.

As GP says, it's nice to get some articulation up top with our Roto-Joint.

For tubular vs boxed, we make no distinction strength-wise as they're both much stronger than stock. We ask the customer to choose based solely on appearance.

thanks

ramey
