You may need to cut your brake cable on each side. I did and made it super easy to install.

Thought I'd bring this post back, still waiting for the TA details and pricing. I have been running the founders lca's and lcarb's. I am very impressed with the fit and finish and they have taken all the abuse I've given them at the strip. Love all the products I've tried from them thus far.

Curious what you do with the black bracket that holds your brake/ebrake cable? I had to Bend it to get my brackets in.

Well I have a 12 bolt and the bolt in style just wasnt going to work so I ended up modifying them to make them weld in.

I have founders adj. lca's and adj. phb and they have been awesome. No problems at all. Launches straight, handles great, no wheel hop, great traction and didnt get raped on prices. Every other company has a great product but if their is a product identical and much cheaper im gonna go with that.

A friend of mine introduced me to Founder's products ( LCA's, PHB, and Relocation Brackets) when he brought them by my house so we could install them on his WS6. I was a little skeptical about them when he told me what he paid, but after seeing the parts, the quality was right up there with the big names. When it came time to do my own suspension, I did use UMI for the torque arm and subframe connectors, but I went with Founders for the LCA's, PHB, and relocation brackets. I couldn't be happier with my decision.

Hey guys, do these come with an option for rubber bushings?

How are the Poly ones, do they feel too rough and vibrate?

Just wondering, price seems good- bad wheel hop here lol

Has anyone heard if Founders will be releasing a torque arm soon like spring is around the corner. I have all their other stuff SFC, PHB, LCA LCARB I need a tunnel mount torque arm and would like it by May at the latest. If not I will have to buy another brand and my cash supply is low. Any news??

I'm curious about that also, along with front suspension components. Kicking around going aftermarket up there or just replacing the bushings on the stock arms. I'm leaning this direction for now but still want to see what they may offer. I have to do something with it this year as my bushings and ball joints are pretty worn out.

I have Founders LCAs, LCA brackets, & panhard bar. Honestly, can't tell a difference between those and the BMR one's my buddy has.

I also have UMI boxed subframes, adj torque arm, & front strut brace. I am super happy with the torque arm which is definately a well engineered piece, I'd glady pay extra for a UMI piece if it was something like a k-member, torque arm, or a complex adjustable piece. Gotta pay for that testing and I doubt founders is coming out with anything chromoly anytime soon.

Props to Founders for making basic pieces cheaper and UMI for making great quality products that are proven.

Don't lose faith on the torque arm just yet guys. I'd expect an announcement in the next few months...

But what do I know.

I'm sure the Founders guys are well aware of the "want" from the general population here on them building one. I'd say you are on the mark. I have their Strut brace, weld in connectors, control arms with 3 way joint and panhard bar... its all Im missing now so they need to do this!

Do the founders bolt in relo brackets have the spacer that sits inside the bolt holes? I didn't see it in their photo. Maybe they include it and just don't show it in the photo?
