How far are you lowered? Also when you launch the car does it clunk. The hit i talked to at umi told me to cut a set of holes off the torque arm and what they did with there ws6 was put car down without springs and Push on it multiple times to make clearance.

I have the same torque arm setup and had no issues with clunking or hitting the body. If you modify the bracket you can push the tq arm closer to the driveshaft which will give you extra clearance.
1.48 60' with no noise during launch.

So from what I'm hearing is there's a chance it won't make the noise and there's a chance it won't be to bad on scrapping. I don't reallydrive the car allot but i still don't wanna scrape and mess a bunch of stuff up

The only thing I scrape is the front mount. I have the Ds safety loop version and it catches everything. I can barely load it on a trailer for the races. I don't have any noises per-say, but it is rather clunky. I have an S60 spooled and I have broken 1 UMI tunnel mount on lanuch, and cracked another one on a second gear shift.
If I were to do it again, Madman or BMR.

The pics don't show the loss of clnc as well as they could. This is a BMR set up on a 9 inch. I had to get rid of the under mount back seat belt reinforcement due to clnc issues. You could rotate the front mount up a little bit prior to welding to gain some clnc - maybe 3/4 to an inch. Mine barely scrapes putting it on the trailer - non lowered car.
