UMI Performance 98-02 GM F-Body LS1 Front End Kit Stage 5 - Black

When you're building a drag car for your 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, getting the front end right is crucial for straight-line stability and handling those hard launches. This UMI Performance Stage 5 kit gives you a solid foundation, combining a beefy K-member with adjustable A-arms and high-performance coilovers, all designed to bolt directly into your F-body without any welding.

What you get in this kit is a heavy-duty, dual-tube K-member, which UMI says is the strongest in its class, built from USA DOM tubing. It's designed to handle the stress of wheelies and street driving while also helping to protect your oil pan and shave weight. The kit also includes tubular upper and lower A-arms, assembled with Teflon-lined, race-quality rod ends and premium ball joints. These adjustable A-arms allow for easy alignment adjustments and increased caster for better straight-line stability. The included Viking A226 coilovers are double adjustable, meaning you can fine-tune both compression and rebound damping by hand, with 361 possible valving combinations. They also feature bearing ends instead of polyurethane for reduced friction and improved response, and they allow for ride height adjustment from 0 to 3 inches of lowering using the included spanner wrenches and thrust washers. The 300lb/in springs are specifically chosen for drag racing applications and vehicles with front-end weight reduction.

This kit is a direct bolt-in replacement, saving you about 43 pounds from the front end compared to stock. It works with your factory steering rack, making installation more straightforward. UMI Performance manufactures these components in Philipsburg, PA, USA.
