The hybrid front coil system features 0-3" front drop and is easy to adjust and lock in place. The 1 or 2 inch rear lowering allows you to knock the factory height down a bit or go the extra inch for the Pro-Tour look. Double adjustable Viking shocks feature 19 compression and 19 rebound settings. These independently adjustable settings allow you to change from street to strip to corner carving handling simply by turning the knobs. No tools required.

Double adjustable features 19 independent compression and rebound settings (for a total of 361 possible combinations)

Baseline shock settings - 6C,8R all around street, 10C,12R all around corner carving, 6C,2R front and 6C,6R rear strip

Spanner Wrench & Thrust Bearing Kit: Spanner wrench tool is used to adjust vehicle height while shock stays mounted. This wrench is needed to make height adjustments. The thrust bearing kit is designed to be placed between the spring and the spring seat attached to the shock. This makes for easier adjustments since the spring seat is rotating on a bearing. This kit is recommended for easier adjustments but is not needed to complete the installation. We do not recommend adjusting without a thrust bearing kit.

Who is UMI Performance?

UMI Performance is an aftermarket company that specializes in building high-quality suspension parts. But before they were known as a suspension manufacturer, they manufactured precision parts for major brands such as Corning Asahi, Sony, and Bell+Howell. They may have shifted industries, but their dedication to creating quality products has remained the same.

Quality Products Made In The USA

All of their products are made in-house, which allows them to control every aspect of their products. 100% made in the USA, they can maintain their high standards and create suspension parts that can tackle any street, whether it be the fast corners of a race track or the bumpy road to your grocery store.

Parts Bred From The Racetrack

UMI Performance actively participates in various racing disciplines since most of their product engineers and sales team are racers. Because of this, they can test their products through real-life racing scenarios, which helps them gather data that can help improve their products.

Easy To Install Parts

Each product is designed to replace factory-installed parts without any significant modification. It is carefully measured to ensure that it would fit perfectly into the vehicle and comes with a step-by-step instructional manual, giving their customers a hassle-free installation experience.
