im using a umi chassis mounted adj torque arm. I haven't even gotten my 10 bolt out yet to put the s60 in. I'm still in the process of doing my abs delete.

Also I'm running a strange chromoly driveshaft i picked up new for about 300...the stock driveshaft will have to be shortened 1.625 inches i believe if you wanna reuse it

I've got my S60 in the car and like I said just have a few issues to work out.
The torque arm that I bought was advertised to fit the S60 - it was pre cut like the pictures show on the link you provided. I was able to do some clearancing and resolved the first round of issues. Once I got the torque arm mounted, I discovered that the pinion yolk contacts the upper jam nut on the
torque arm. I received a second bracket today and am keeping my fingers crossed that will take care of the yolk clearance issue.
Torque arm aside. The install is pretty straight forward. I ended up having to getting another passenger side brake hose and bracket to mount on the drivers side. The brake line mounting holes on the control arm brackets were both drilled in the same position, where as originally the drivers side was slightly offset toward the right. If this poses an issue with your install. If you ask for a passenger side brake hose at the dealership it comes with the bracket attached. I think it was about $30. I can get you the part # if you need it.

I called strange and they said lucas is the only synthetic they recommend. That I should go ahead and use the oil they sent me. They said other brands synthetic is thinner and doesn't help protect against shock of the gears and stuff and that if I want to use synthetic lucas should be the only oil I use.
