Looking good! I like the hammered paint look. What UCAs are those?

I bought both the uppers and lowers off a friend that didn't have time or $$ to keep his project going, he said he got them custom built by a member here. They are both really nice pieces. I don't know his name but if I can get in contact with my buddy I will ask.

The LCA are not UMI.. I just slapped on some stickers to look nice lol.

This is were I stopped. Got most of the front end complete.. Should be receiving my front frame brace from Umi today.. This weekend I'll be installing GN rear and coilovers.
Love the powder coating choice for the frame. I'm drooling over that suspension set up.

I did them, cool to see my stuff on here.

Got a few of those uppers still kicking around (an updated version even) if anybody is interested.

Im sure the OP will find that they are the most adjustable ones you can buy, coming in around the same price as some of the better non-adjustable uppers out there.

Instead of having to buy an entire ball joint assembly from whoever (looks like you went with Howe) the ball joint pin drops right into a machined holder with the threaded stud and tab welded on it. You eliminate the housing.
Saves money all around and is a more compact unit.

Lowers look to be an early set too. I think I only made one set with the nylon insert.


If youre feeling froggy PM me and I can copy the inserts in Delrin if you want. Superior material

Thanks for the offer! I might have to go that route in the future.. For now I am going to roll with what I have to keep it moving.
