Founder Performance
Based on this thread I just bought, adjustable pan-hard, LCAs, strut tower, and relocation brackets. Thanks for the good info! And if they had a torque arm, I would have bought that too!

Does anyone have any idea on price on Founders torque arm? Everyone says they are buying it but you guys don't know price??
Let me know a price so I can decide or compare others. Is it going to be a trans mounted adjustable?

It's not out yet so know one knows. I can tell you it will be less than the competitors though

How much cheaper? I see a lot of people buying with out evening knowing a price. Is it worth waiting and begging to save $10, maybe $20? I mean how cheap is it going to be? Can founders give us an idea?

If you use those numbers a non-adjustable tranny mounted version will probaby be somewhere in the $125-$165 range. An adjustable probably $155-$205. These are just guestimates though, and who knows what Founder's will decide
Someone stated $300 for the TA and relocation (which if I assume it is adjustable then that is a $560+ combo from most of the other big name companies)
I'm just hoping the TA relo comes out, I purchased a Random Tech TA and have been too cheap to buy a relo

I installed their panhard bar and control arms on Saturday and already had the frame connectors and brace in a couple of weeks ago. All together the car feels really good. I should say really, really good! Very controlled feeling from the rear now and does actually feel a lot more planted. Should be really nice when the summer tires go back on it!
Another satisfied founders customer here. I have UMI stuff on my car also, but I have Founders' strut tower brace and adjustable PHB with relo.. no issues at all so far, and as stated quality was great.
I'm also waiting to see when Founders releases this...

Stunning, I research around a few "PEOPLE" said they could get me a cheaper quote than any of the usual/typical around resource.
Just while I'm on the stage of just ordering a full suspension list from a Sponsor in here ....
I SERIOUSLY couldn't tell the difference between the two spec's still !!

Spoke to Founder's Performance yesterday, was told about a month until the TQ Arm/Crossmember would be available. Guy I spoke to said they were waiting for some bushings to come in from energy suspension and the product was "90% ready"
Exciting news (for me at least), and I figured I'd pass it along.
Was also told a sway bar was in the works!

I ordered some of their new 3-piece poly joint rear LCAs. They certainly are a nice piece and tightened up the rear end a lot.
I asked them about the torque arm and the relocation bracket, they said the bracket would be proprietary to their torque arm. I'm curious if I could get it to work with my current UMI arm.

With regard to the TQ arm, my discussions with Founders noted that their TQ arm would be a little different than other current market offerings. Founders specifically mentioned that the arm would have articulation capability. Definitely a interesting product, and I'm extremely excited to see it released and hopefully some quick reviews on it.
Glad to hear about your thoughts on the 3 piece LCA's. I just recently ordered them myself.
