But I don't see any holes for the sway bar.

Man this stuff sucks... I don't get why its not just cut and dry. If you have this car with this rear and atleast this much power, you have to do this or you won't get traction. Instead its a lot of opinions and 30 different things I can do. yeesh... I will call the manufacturer tomorow and see what they say. If its offered with sway bar holes im sold.

Bars that come pre-drilled have reinforcing sleeves welded in across the holes in the bar. _________________ Mark 1972 Elky Picture Album Back to top El Corvino Master Wrench Necoa #: 9422 Location: 6(FL) Joined: Apr 19, 2007 Posts: 370 Year: 1984 Model: El Camino Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 2:45 pm    Post subject: Just spoke with UMI performance and our local shop "horespower sales". They hooked me up with tubular lower control arms, double adjustable upper control arms, poly bushings all the way around, and the QA1 DR2000K coil over system! All I am waiting on now are my new fuel and brake lines!

I ordered them with the longer brackets. These give a choice of lower arm mounting points. I welded them to the original brackets. UMI says they can be bolted on. That gives "adjustability" that you and I both like. The 3" lower mounting point gives more loading of the rear end by trying to lift the body thereby planting the tires. I bought the fully adjustable uppers so I can set the pinion angle and set some loading from that linkage without disconnecting the upper bars. This is all a (science/art) that I don't fully understand YET. But like you, I want the ability to experiment! Good Luck! _________________ Larry 3 in Hot Springs, AR Yeah, I've been around the block a few times, but I usually can find my house without help! lol Back to top El Corvino Master Wrench Necoa #: 9422 Location: 6(FL) Joined: Apr 19, 2007 Posts: 370 Year: 1984 Model: El Camino Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:33 pm    Post subject: I just get so frustrated that there is no set path to go on. I hate screwing with this stuff for lengthy times and just want to buy it and get it over with. So I bought my stuff today and i'll let you kids know whats up when its all put in. - Mike Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         El Camino Central Forum Index -> Suspension All times are GMT - 6 Hours Goto page Previous  1, 2 Page 2 of 2   Jump to: Select a forumEl Camino Central Forum Index|--New Members|   |--Announcement|   |--Messages for new forum members|--General Topics|   |--General BS Topics|   |--Site Topics|   |--Legislative Alerts|   |--Product Review|   |--Tips & Tricks|   |--Vendors Forum|   |--Audio|--Body & Chassis|   |--Body Restoration|   |--Electrical Systems|   |--Interior Restoration|   |--Heating & Air Conditioning Systems|   |--Suspension|   |--Detailing|--Drivetrain & Performance|   |--Ignition Upgrades & Discussion Forum|   |--Engine Topics|   |--LT1/LS1/EFI Tech|   |--Performance Modifications|   |--Transmission & Drive line|   |--Brake Systems|--Events & Projects|   |--Calendar of Events|   |--Garage Sales|   |--Wanted Items|   |--Ebay Alert|   |--El Camino 50th Anniversary|   |--All GM Carlsile|--Technical Database|   |--VIN Decoding|   |--RPO Codes|--Regional Discussion Forums|   |--Region 1 (NY)|   |--Region 2 (CT,MA,ME,NH,RI,VT)|   |--Region 3 (DE,NJ,PA)|   |--Region 4 (MD,VA)|   |--Region 5 (NC,SC)|   |--Region 6 (FL)|   |--Region 7 (AL,GA,TN)|   |--Region 8 (OH,WV)|   |--Region 9 (IN,KY,MI)|   |--Region 10 (IL,MN,WI)|   |--Region 11 (IA,NE,ND,SD)|   |--Region 12 (MO,OK,KS)|   |--Region 13 (TX)|   |--Region 14 (AR,LA,MS)|   |--Region 15 (AZ,NM)|   |--Region 16 (CO,MT,WY,UT)|   |--Region 17 (S.CA,S.NV)|   |--Region 18 (N.CA,N.NV)|   |--Region 19 (AK,ID,OR,WA)|   |--Region 20 (HI)|   |--Region 21 Canada (West of Ontario)|   |--Region 22 Canada (East of Manitoba)|   |--Region 23 Mexico|   |--Region 24 Europe|   |--Region 25 (All Other Countries)|--Admininistration|   |--Administration Messages  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB 2.0.8 © 2001 phpBB Group phpBB port v2.1 based on Tom Nitzschner's phpbb2.0.6 upgraded to phpBB 2.0.4 standalone was developed and tested by: ArtificialIntel, ChatServ, mikem, sixonetonoffun and Paul Laudanski (aka Zhen-Xjell).
