PRI 2022: UMI Performance’s K-Member Kit For 1982-92 F-Body

The third generation of GM’s F-body platform has for years, enjoyed an aftermarket full of components to increase the car’s performance. But, when you are ready to get serious, UMI Performance has introduced its new K-member kit for 1982 through 1992 F-body.

UMI Performance K-member

UMI’s new K-member not only adds strength, adjustability, and performance to your F-body, but it also cuts weight off the front of your ride.

UMI’s new K-member kit features all the performance goodies that’ll help your car perform. The K-members are engineered to solidify the car’s chassis while also providing improved ground clearance. UMI also includes LS-swap engine mount brackets with these K-members, so you can now easily stuff your favorite engine between those frame rails.

UMI's new bolt-in weight jack system is integrated into the design and allows for corner balancing and ride height adjustments up to 2.5 inches.

Another performance-boosting element not available in other companies’ K-member designs is UMI’s new bolt-in weight jacks. UMI weight jacks feature strong, laser-cut steel construction, a heavy-duty jack screw, and a thrust bearing to ensure smooth operation. Enthusiasts can now easily dial in the ride height and corner balance of their third-gen by using a 3/4-inch socket. UMI’s new weight jack assembly bolts directly to the K-member and allows for up to 2.5 inches of ride height adjustment.

Performance Fit To Your Driving Style

UMI Performance’s new third-gen K-member is available in either the company’s signature red or black powder-coat finish. Enthusiasts can also choose between a road-race or non-road-race variant. Road-race K-members feature additional road-race-inspired bracing for even more strength at speed.

UMI offers two different spring rates so drivers can further tune their car’s handling to their driving style. For daily drivers or general handling improvement, UMI’s 850 lb/in. springs are designed to give you increased performance with unwavering ride characteristics. For those seeking the ultimate in performance during serious corner-carving, autocrossing, and track days, UMI offers a set of 1050 lb/in. coils to keep your car planted.

All these additional benefits of UMI Performance’s new K-member kit for third-gen F-bodies come in a bolt-in package that also shaves 25 pounds of nose-weight off the front of your ride.
