Torque arm relocation kit
Torque arm relocation kit I wanted to know if it really necessary to get a torque arm relocation kit when replacing the factory torque arm.I dont drag race and never beat on it with hard launches.So I am just wondering if replacing the factory torque arm will be fine without the kit.
One last thing.On a lowered car is it necessary to get the adjustable one or will the non-adjustable thats set at -2 degrees be ok.

Stock TA's are weak, many more of those fail than do TA mounts on the transmission. I'd have to say TA first, TA bracket at the same time or later...
And I'd definitely do an adjustable TA. -2 angle is fixed and based on a stock height car. If you have any sort of pinion angle vibration issues you can't do anything about it on a fixed angle TA... you can with an adjustable.

The UMI unit is a nice piece, I run one in my car. Fitment is excellent and Sam Strano ^^^ knows what he is talking about. He'll guide you to the right decisions

The TA relocation kit isn't necessary, but the kit removes any stress on the trans tail, it's quiet, and the front TA mount is then mounted to a stronger and stationary mount assembly,which I found make a noticeable difference when launching (street or track).
IMO, I noticed a bigger difference with the relocation mount change then I did with changing the TA.
I would have to agree with InsaneAuto86 that the relocation kit, poly mount, and stock TA would offer you the most benefit right now.

Thanks for recommending UMI Performance! We do offer many styles depending on what transmission you are running. I always considered the relocation cross member like extra insurance rather than braking the mounting bracket off of the tail shaft. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

Verdad Gallardo I'm sure they will add comment but I've got the Kenny Brown DD and it does not interfere with it. They share the same bolt holes.
I'm also running Strano springs and bars with Konis's. Very happy with the combination, give Sam a call he'll get you on the right path

What kind of tires do you have? If your on cheap street tires, would an aftermarket arm even do anything noticeable?
Yes our Tunnel Mounted Torque Arms will work just fine with the SLP 3 point SFC's. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

Thanks, I already pulled the trigger and bought one when the sale was on. If it didn't fit I was just going to do different SFC's, but you're saying it will work, and that makes it better.
Great to hear! And thanks for choosing UMI Performance we appreciate your business.
Thanks
Brad
