Does it look to anybody else like his brackets are spun forward compared to the brackets on UMI's website?

On UMI's pics I don't see a large gap between the plate on the back of the LCA relocation bracket and the stock LCA mount.

Yeah I noticed that too.

To the OP - Did you experience any shifting of the wheels forward or back in the wheel wells after the install?

I don't think the original poster has UMI.

You know, when I first looked at them I thought the same thing. But after reading the OP saying "Thanks Ryan from UMI Performance for e-mailing me the instructions." I assumed they were UMI. They actually look more like BMR or those Hotpart/J&M ones you see on Ebay.

I've actually owned both types, but prefer the UMI ones because there is no gap so you can weld the plate on the back to the rear of the original LCA mount.

The brackets are from BMR. UMI was still kind enough to send me their install instructions, thanks again ! The wheels did not shift forward or back in the wheel well after the install.
I went to the track this past Friday and launched off the foot brake N/A at about 2500 rpm and still got a 1.6 60ft.same as before the brackets. On the 75hp N2O jets set to activate at 3000 rpm I got a spinning 1.75 60ft. I think I'm ready for some new rear tires. Currently I'm on used Hoosier QTP's set at 18 psi. I probably could have adjusted the press. in the tires but we only got 2 runs in that night. I think I'll lower the 60 ft. once I get some more seat time !

These are UMI part # 2012 with *NEW IN BAG* hardware. The bag has never been opened.

I can get you pics if needed. I'm going in a different route (12 bolt ), and wont need these.

Thanks, and sorry for the ROD214. Oh, and great looking set up!!

Oh, and Brad at UMI is the man!





I just bought a brand new set from bynumspeed for $82.
