Default UMI TA and relocation trans crossmember???

I have the UMI full length TA and the UMI trans mount that relocates the TA off the trans. Wich mounting holes on the cross member are best for a stock height car with a 6speed.
Thanks

I have the BMR TA relocation Bracket, but from what I have read you want to go as low as possible, within reason, to improve your instant center. I might be able to go one lower on mine before the TA hits the y-pipe. Acording to BMR this would be approximately the stock location for non lowered T56 cars. Then of course you need to readjust your pinion angle with an adjustable TA.

Its a non adjustable TA and right now, its in the 2nd from the bottom, the TA hits my TDs in the bottom holes.
It looks like it sits lower then the old factory mounting point??

Hello
I noticed that you are having some clearance issues with the torque arm and exhaust! Was the exhaust made while the stock torque arm was in use? We recommend mounting the the arm in the mounting holes that you are in seeing how our non adjustable torque arms have -2 built into them (with a factory ride height vehicle). Below is a link to show you what type of clearance you should have!

I got your message and moved it up. The TDs were built with the UMI TA in place & after the crossmember install I notice it slightly hitting, so I knew it wasnt back in the stock location and it didnt seem to be even with where the stock mount on the TA was.
Looks good now.
