I threw all the UMI parts offered for the G body platform onto my Turbo LS Malibu build. Project Sinister Malibu

Words to the wise. I know this video is 3 yes old but I just had to add something. Anti seize is fine for threads and things that don't move unless being adjusted. Things that move as a normal part of the suspensions action should use grease. Antiseize isn't a particularly good lubricant and will accelerate wear.

Man thanks for the vid. I’ve had the front setup forever but stayed away from the rear setup. Crystal clear vid and awesome easy to follow instruction🏆🏆

I’m 21 years old building a off frame restoration just like yours on my 84 cutlass hurst! You helped me out a lot with this honestly if it wasn’t for your video I wouldn’t know where to start, thanks !

[@snedenwerks]

That’s awesome! Happy that it helped. Good luck with your build

[@jermaineknowles87]

Following this build for sure

Love that American Flag on the AC eliminator cover;)

Mostly street driven with a cage?

[@philmartin4863]

Great job on all the new parts. Just wanted to ask. I noticed when you did front suspension how did you get your frame to look so smooth.

[@snedenwerks]

Thanks! I completely stripped it down to bare metal. Self etching primer and duplicolor low gloss black engine enamel

[@felixsolis9552]

So what u think is more comfortable QA1 or this one?

[@malcolmdunston8152]

And does the frame have to be Power coded

[@DesTakeFlight]

👌🏾

[@jermaineknowles87]

Looks like you put rear coilovers in front. I have viking front coilovers for g body and it uses the upper spring perch. 🤷🏾‍♂️I could be wrong I'm no tech

[@snedenwerks]

My system is different, does not utilize the pockets. They are one unit

[@jermaineknowles87]

@@snedenwerks the more you know✌we need another gbody update ! The people are waiting .tuned in from El Paso Texas

[@snedenwerks]

@@jermaineknowles87 I’ll jump back on it soon, I promise! Thank you for watching 🙏

[@misfit32_one61]

What stage UMI kit did you use?

[@snedenwerks]

It’s pretty much the 2.5 kit but my rear upper links are adjustable and I also have their frame braces

[@THEREALKINGBEE]

May i ask what part of Michigan are you from?

[@snedenwerks]

Grand Rapids area

[@snedenwerks]

THEREALKINGBEE sorry, sold the car

[@oneofafew5070]

I'm from muskegon mi have the same car same year looking into umi man do I have some questions

[@pablosbuickgarage]

Same set up I went with

[@snedenwerks]

Nice! It’s some pretty trick stuff. Have you driven on it yet? Do you like it?

[@pablosbuickgarage]

@@snedenwerks no if you look at my videos lol I just got the frame back from Powdercoat. It’s all just sitting in boxes lol

[@pablosbuickgarage]

@@snedenwerks the only thing different I went with the blazer spindle and 14” vette rotors and 6 piston brake. I can’t wait to get it on tho. I subscribed and looking forward to more of you videos

[@snedenwerks]

@@pablosbuickgarage nice! Those 6 pistons look killer! I’ll be following your build for sure 🍻

[@eddiel0w]

Is there a kit with all of these goodies included?

[@richardeddings7259]

What kit is that the 2.5

[@snedenwerks]

2.5 with some add ons

[@richardeddings7259]

@@snedenwerks I called umi for the 2.5 kit for my 86 Monte Carlo SS and they said I need to ask for the factory height I’m wanting to put 24 inch rims on it and don’t know if the factory height will be high enough I want to put a 5 inch lip on the back wheels and no I probably need to do a chassis notch and fender row do you think the 24s will fit on the factory height? I was thinking the coil overs would go higher but the 2.5 Kit can only lower 2 inches correct?

[@reyesramos2939]

Nice job well done dude! Do you have a parts list of the front and rear UMI gear? I'm interested in the followup videos especially when you install the floor shifter . I also have a 1981 Malibu but it's wagon. Good luck
