Default MWC 9 Inch on Lowered 2000 TA

Has anyone ran a Midwest Chassis 9 Inch and long arm torque arm set up on a lowered car? I am running into clearance issues on the top of the torque arm and want to know if anyone has done it before I put time into something that may be a lost cause. Works fine with my factory springs.

How low does your car sit?

The only issue i had was the 5 hole pivot link was hitting an electrical comnector coming out of the trans. I put it in the middle hole and cut the link in the middle of the 2nd hole from the top. 3/4" drop on coilovers.

Lowered 1.25" with long arm and kooks tds with no issues. The electrical plug on the trans can be turned 180* and it clears fine.

Was afraid to try that. I like to break things by doing that
