Default UMI adj. tq arm & relo bracket

Hey guys. I'm about to install a UMI adjustable torque arm and relocation bracket to get the arm off of the transmission and I was wondering if I'd feel any difference on the street with it. Also, I only run Nitto 555r's with my 6 speed so what should I expect to feel different? Thanks!

I know you will feel the road a bit more. The stock torque arm mount is isolated from the body by the torque arm bushing and the transmission mount. With the relocation bracket it is only isolated by the TA bushing.

I hope so. The reason I posted though was because I don't use real sticky tires with the 10 bolt so I'm not sure how effective it will be.

i notice a diff like the rest said it did hook better but the down side was that u hear and feel everything on the road so it took away some comfort but for me it was still worth it.
