I believe these are what I'm talking bout.

I checked out the link. G Body Parts pairs our lower with a circle track style upper to offer a cost effective kit. The lowers are UMI 3031's and differ slightly from the photo as we've made some design improvements over the years. The uppers aren't ours so I can let others comment.

Rest assured the lowers would be awesome.

Thanks ramey. Just trying to figure how to get a better handle without spending a million dollars. I won't be racing the car much. More so a street rod.

Ramey quick question. Coil overs all away around vs coil springs?

 

[UMI Sales]

We tend to use standard springs out back (meaning non-coilover) and hybrid coils up front. The car doesn't necessarily care whether it has standard coils or coilovers from a performance standpoint. The front hybrid coil allows easy ride height adjustment as well as easy damping adjustment.

Coilovers out back are less common and mainly just help with ride height.

For a daily driver, four standard coils and non-adjustable shocks work great as we have high quality springs and Bilstein shocks in our non coilover kits.
