$1,319.99
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
UMI's lowering package includes four Viking double adjustable shocks, a hybrid front coil-over spring system, and either 1 or 2-inch UMI rear lowering springs. This kit features increased spring rates for improved handling, allowing you to adjust your car's height and performance for optimal results. The hybrid front coil system provides a 0-3" front drop and is easy to adjust and lock in place. The rear lowering springs offer a 1 or 2-inch drop for a sleek Pro-Tour look.
The double adjustable Viking shocks have 19 compression and rebound settings, giving you the flexibility to switch between street, strip, and corner carving handling simply by turning the knobs—no tools required. The kit includes front coil-over shocks, rear shocks, front springs with multiple rate options, and rear springs with different drop choices. While a spanner wrench and thrust bearing kit are recommended for easier height adjustments, they are not necessary for installation.
**Front Spring Rate Options:**
- **250lb:** 11" tall springs for drag racing only. Requires serious lightening.
- **350lb:** Ideal for small block cruising or drag racing with lightening.
- **450lb:** Recommended for small block cruising and big block drag racing.
- **550lb:** Suitable for small block handling and all big blocks except for drag racing.
Overall, UMI's lowering package is a complete solution for enhancing your car's performance and appearance with professional-grade components.

About Viking Performance
