Details & Inspection Notes
UMI's top-tier Stage 5 kit, ABF409-1-B, uses double adjustable twin-tube shocks front and rear instead of the monotube or RideTech shocks used elsewhere in this lineup, running on Spherical Bearing/Delrin bushings rather than polyurethane. UMI builds it for classic A-Body platforms spanning several GM divisions from the 1960s and '70s era.
What's in the kit
A solid 1.25" front sway bar is matched to a solid, adjustable 1.00" rear sway bar, and both the control arms and trailing arms are tubular steel finished in black. A chassis stiffener is included; spindles and brake parts are not. UMI's notes list a 450 lbs./in. front spring rate for this kit.
What to check before buying
Because this is UMI's top tier in the handling-kit range, expect a more involved install than the Stage 2 kits, with double adjustable shocks that reward some time spent tuning compression and rebound. Confirm your specific A-Body model and year against UMI's fitment chart before ordering.
Common questions
Which cars is this built for? Classic A-Body models from Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC built in the 1960s and '70s.
Is the rear sway bar adjustable? Yes, the solid 1.00" rear bar is adjustable.

Suspension Setup & Installation Checklist
- Inspect top mounts, damper seals, bushings, and ball joints prior to fitment.
- Set initial spring preload, collar heights, and damper rebound clicks symmetrically left to right.
- Torque all suspension control arm pivot bolts while the vehicle is at resting ride height (loaded suspension).
- Perform a complete 4-wheel laser alignment once ride height has settled to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
