Default UMI Torque Arm Relocation?

I just got UMI's adjustable full length torque arm and there relocation kit for 99 F-body automatic. The relocation mount has 8 different sets of holes for the clam shell mount. Does anyone know which setting is best to start of with before adjusting or is one better than any of the others?

Hello,

Start with the second hole from the top and try that, go up one more and see how that works for you. If you need any help making the changes call Jerry in our technical support at 814-857-5400

Thanks!
Ryan

I'm at stock height and I used the top set, it was the closest to the stock locations height on the transmission. I'm not sure of the angle on it but it seems to work fine. I was pretty impressed with the quality of the mount and how much lighter it is than the stock crossmember.

They are not Strano bars... Strano has his own sway bars to his specs which are excellent. Ours will be solid chrome moly bars, I will release specs shortly.

Thank you!
