Installed UMI torque arm from WS6store.com
Installed UMI torque arm from WS6store.com Took me and a buddy about 2 hrs to install and adjust a UMI torque arm with a new bushing, adjusted to -2 degrees, I also moved my LCA's up to the middle hole which gave me about -.5 of a degree in those putting my instant center longer and lower. Was raining the day of the install, but I just got done with a spin in the TA and Holy ****! It accelerates so hard and straight now and the response from your foot mashing the go pedal you can really feel. It just snaps my head right back instantaneously now. I guess I had alot of slop and twisting in the rear end that I didn't realize, but not anymore. I was not expecting that much of a difference. I don't get any banging or any binding either, crusing around is an undescribable subtle difference but when you get on it, holy ****! It was fast before, but I think I'm really putting it all to the ground now and creating better forward motion. Why didn't I do this sooner?
Mike at WS6store was awesome as usual as far as pricing and CS goes, since it was drop shipped from UMI also they made sure I got it quick. Thanks guys!

One of the first upgrades that should be done is getting rid of that trash torque arm. I got a BMR non-adjustable unit with the UMI torque arm relocation mount and ended up with around -2 degrees and it made a world of difference. You have any vids of your ride? I want a maggie so bad...

Hopefully what I did will fix this! Times are pretty low from a 6800+ DA

Especially if you're lowered. I've been lowered for several years on the stock torque arm. Ddin't know much of anything about suspension geometry until recently.
I really wish I would have checked my geometry before installing it, I've done some crazy stuff to the car, but really didn't care that much at the time. Honestly I wasn't expecting much gain from this mod. Oh well though, my stock torque arm is probably now being recycled into paper clips or something. That thing is so flimsy and cheap.
A couple degrees in your torque arm, pinion angle, and lower control arms can make a serious difference I now know.

If your first measurement is -3, and the second is +1, add the two for -2. It's just adding integers, basic ****. Adjust as necessary until you get -2. You need an angle finder to do this.
BMR has a video explaining how to do it on their homepage. Lots of good info AND bad advice on how to do it around here.
