I put these parts on my 97 Z28 two years ago. No longer a squishy sensation during full throttle starts, and no more squeaky bushings on cold mornings. Also used all new hardware torqued per instructions.
Camaro Rick if you don't have these installed in your car I suggest you should they stiffen up the frame even more. But right now I'm working on the clutch master cylinder went out I'm trying to bleed all the air out
I bet, The stamped sheet metal leaves a lot to be improved on. I love UMI products. Check out the Tick adjustable Master cylinder kit if you have not bought a new one yet. Also a remote bleeder or extending the factory bleeder makes the job so much easier.
Camaro Rick yeah I already installed one that I got from a damn local auto parts store and it still spongy I bought a brake bleeder to suck the air out and it still spongy on me
I'm buying a set of these today. My firebird is a 6 speed with 3.73 gears. Needs computer reprogrammed but it runs pretty good otherwise. It would be a pretty quick car if I could get some grip. I'm hoping these will help along with the tires I got.
Do you remember what the torque specs were for the control arms and panhard bar? I got the same parts from BMR and they did not come with any instructions...
Just bought the panhard bar and control arms from Founders in the US and will be doing this exact same job, could you tell me what you mean by "torque down". Do you just mean you tightened all the bolts ? Graeme in Australia Z28 1999 5.7L
Yes. Make sure they are super tight, they were a little loose when I first put them on and they were making all kinds of knocking noises. Be sure to grease them every time you change your oil

I did the same install on my 95 Z28 years ago. Great mod! Love UMI stuff.
I need a torque arm next
@@chemicalspore I got a adjustable UMI one from Summit Racing. 😊
@@hotrodder5034 i now have umi springs and koni shocks on the way. Going to make a video on that
@@chemicalspore Very kool!! I still have the stock springs and shocks. I want to change mine out next summer.
@@hotrodder5034 got my umi springs and shocks in . check it if you have the time
Awesome video...about to do this same install on my 2000 WS6 today...UMI package arrived yesterday picked it up on Amazon for $189.95
Is that the total with shipping? You will notice a difference. Also be sure to grease them everytime you do an oil change
I love all the red under there!

Camaro Rick I'm not as good as a mechanic as you and I barely know the basics or I'm starting to learn
Thanks man. You got it under control! Sometimes the clutch bleed can be a pain to get all the air out. Spongy is getting close.

These with really good springs and shocks help. Check out my suspension videos if you got time

Torque them as tight as you can. Otherwise you will get alot of noise
Panhardt 55ft-lbs(74,57Nm) Control Arms 87 ft-lbs(117,95Nm) but im also a big fan of tighten the sh*t out of every thing

@@chemicalspore Thanks, hard to get information over here as there are not many of these cars around and most so called mechanics don't have a clue.
@@graemer66 hit me up any time. Also check out "Camaro rick" he has a great channel
So they help ride less stiff?.?I want best for my02 firebird these 2 are same car almost
They firm the ride up and make the car handle a little better. Underneath, camaros and firebirds are the exact same.
Is that a traction bar or part of a link suspension. I dunno so confused. Or Torsion bar? A ladder bar?
The long bar is a pan hard bar and the shorter ones are control arms
Great video bro, are you running the SLP SUBFRAME CONNECTORS?
I bought the car uses. I doubt its slp, slp"s are thicker than the ones in there. Thank you for stopping by
Did those 3 point subframe connectors fit with everything factory?
Yes. Bolts right on
Chemical Spore cool thanks
Go Bolts!
So a rear end has control arms? Where are the ball joints
Ball joints are on the front of the car with the wheel rotating assembly
Would these kill the nasty wheel hop my 98 ws6 has ?
Like you wouldn't believe. Just torque them down tight. Subscribe if you haven't. Thank you.
Also a torque arm would help too
Yes definitely you will notice a difference
