Torque arm setting on relocation bracket
Torque arm setting on relocation bracket When adjusting the torque arm up and down using the relocation crossmember bolt holes, what should I be looking for when driving and launching to determine the ideal instant center position for the car?
FWIW, UMI recommends the second hole from the bottom as the stock setting.
Still stock height, using a UMI relocation crossmember and adjustable torque arm.
I remember seeing the second hole from the bottom as stock equivalent, but I wasn't sure if that was a general starting point to tweak from, or if that was "the setting" for a stock-height car. I wound up losing the install sheet while in the garage, so I was looking at BMR's install documents, and they recommend using the stock location to baseline, and then adjust from there...but I'm not sure what a properly-set-up instant center feels like.

Hello
Thanks for choosing UMI Performance for your suspension needs. We also recommend starting at the stock location (second hole from the bottom). Seeing how your vehicle is stock ride height I would suggest moving your mounting location to the 3rd hole from the bottom. For a better instant center change and faster weight transfer. Then once you adjust your instant center adjustment recheck your pinon angle and make sure its set and designated setting -2 (for best all around performance). If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks

No Problem, Glad that I could help.

Hello
I would just suggest installing the torque arm for a lowered vehicle in the 3rd set of holes as well to allow you to get a better weight transfer. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
