SPHON, BMR or UMI
Guys looking for pros/cons for either Spohn, BMR, or UMI for my 02 Hawk. I am planning to do a full suspension mostly canyon carving but a few grudge drags here and there. 6 speed car stock LS1 for now...Thoughts?

I don't think you can go wrong with any of these companies. They all have good products.
I have mostly UMI. I chose these because of there rotojoints. They are rebuildable, and should give good articulation. If mostly for drag, you would not need these.
I also like the way their subframe connectors tuck up nicely under the car.

I have used all 3, all good, small differences on different parts, and it seems now they are all comparable on price. If anything... I guess I am partial to BMR and Spohn, but they are all pretty good. Now if you wanted to compare individual parts and pieces... hahaha
Re: SPHON, BMR or UMI
I just ordered a torque arm with the transmission crossmember from Midwest Chassis. They have very good prices, and I am very confident that they have better products and designs compared to the competition. They will be getting the call for any of my future suspension needs.
I also won't get BMR just because they don't offer a black powder coat.

Midwest chassis is better than all of the above. Always lighter and better designed
