I like the camber gain in this picture. The tire looks it's sitting really nice on the full tread. What do you have your camber set at. I have a -3/4 degree on my GP

We are at 1 deg static negative with a stock spindle and 1/2" taller lower and 1" taller upper ball joints. It gains slightly over 1 deg per inch of bump travel with that setup. This winter we'll fix the bump steer. It gets slightly better with the tall lower ball joint but still needs optimized.

I have screw in lower ball joints and I can change the length of the stud to help with bump steer. I had to taper ream the spindle for the ball joint but I suspect you have taper reamers and are familiar with that modification

Allstar has a center link to deal with bump steer in the metric cars.. Maybe UMI can manufacturer a similar center link and add it to your products

Will the allstar center link work without taller balljoints? Would it be worth while to use on stock dimension type a arms?

I continue to like that your test mule is green with a vinyl roof. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Thanks! We had a poll when we first got it what color we should paint it. The overwhelming response was "leave it alone"!

At Pitt we were able to finish mid-pack against Vettes, 5th Gens and other LS powered high-end builds.

Keep sharing the race videos and pictures. Your 'walking the talk' has to be making a positive difference in your sales. I see the G body market widening, even though some of your competition has already moved on.

Decided to temporarily swipe the Weld's off the UMI LeMans.

I don't know any sizes yet, just wanted to check the appearance.
