UMI Performance toe rods and trailing arms - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Finally had a chance to get these installed. Really like the ease of adjusting and the strength over the stock parts. Going to put them to the test during the Camarocross. Should be interesting to see how they do at keeping the rear in line.

How do these compare with DSE?

I was looking at these a couple days ago! They at least look like good products, curious how you're planning to use the adjustability in the trailing arms

Not sure as this is the first set of toe rods/trailing arms I have installed. I would think they would be on par with the DSE parts. Though these do not have any bushings, as the DSE kit does.
In regards to making adjustments on the trailing arms, we were able to set the rear alignment to exactly the same side to side and not have to worry about the movement or deflection bushings may incur. Guess we will know at the CamaroCross and then when I get back on a road course.

damn those look heavy duty like what I used to use on offroad builds, looking forward to seeing how they do on the autocross track!

I wonder what the longevity of the ends will be, before wear/noise/play sets in.

SSEssence · 07-11-2017, 12:56 PM

it's going to be noisy regardless due to not having bushings

UMI states they will be noisy and are NOT to be used in street driven car. Our car is not a daily and mostly a track car so that will not bother me at all. They offer 2 other styles that have either bushings or roto joints that will keep the noise levels lower and be more street friendly.

Nice! Wish I had gone spherical with my bushings.
