Hope that helps!

Awesome. Thanks for the clarification!

I currently have a tunnel mounted torque arm made from you guys, I love the thing but I'm thinking of switching from my Y-pipe and catback to a TSP duals kit.

In the picture above, it looks like the crossmember mounts right above the X-Pipe in the exhaust.

Do you have any tips on this? Or suggestions?

Hello
Yes the cross member will be in the way of the X pipe. We actually did a new set up on one of our shop cars here about 2 months ago. And what he did was went with a full length adjustable and a relocation cross member to eliminate any issues with breaking the tail-shaft. But with that specific set up I can assure you will not have any issues what so ever. Below is a link to show you what I am talking about.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

My order on the drag bar and relocation brackets is processing from Byunspeed.

UMI **** is top notch and too nice to bolt on the car and drive around on. Upper and lower front A arms will be next when I go to some drag springs and shocks!

Thanks guys, A great combination of Strano & UMI parts has given me one hell of a ride.
Called Sam yesterday & replacing my J&M poly ball LCA's with your non adj poly/roto-joints LCA's. Unfortunetly you didn't have these available at the time I was buying LCA's but looking forward to putting them on.

Another satisfied UMI customer.

UMI parts basically holds my car together. I have their tubular k-member, stb, sfc's, lca's with relocation brackets, and panhard rod. I will continue to buy from any company that makes quality products in the US with no fitment issues!

Still need a few more suspension parts. Body mounted torque arm, and maybe a new crossmember if I decide to do an m6 swap. Probably upper and lower A-arms eventually since the bushings on my stockers are screwed and my k-member is red, need the control arms to match! Thanks for keeping jobs in the USA...

UMI, I have only one beef with your roto-jointed PHB and LCA's. Jesus you made them hard to adjust. The locking nut is so close to the mount that I can't fit a wrench in there, I had to specially shave a wrench down to be able to tighten those bad boys. Other than that, great stuff!

just put mine on, ditto arcs comments on the adjustment lock nuts. But wow what a diff from stock lcas, it's like the rear follows the car instead of fighting the turn. Also what size are the locking nuts, I tried 1 1/4 & 1 1/8 the 1 1/8 was close enough to get it tight.

They are metric, off the top of my head I think it was like 30 or 32mm. I can't remember.
