The only issue I've had so far with installing the TA is that the mounting plate isn't provisioned for larger than stock bolts. I picked up a set of the UMI longer bolts and they won't fit through the plate so I'm going to have to drill the holes out a little bit. The UMI bolts are 0.555 in thick and the hole in the plate is only 0.495 in wide.
However I was able to install the founders LCA, relocation bracket and PHB without a problem. Over all they appear to be some great pieces.

I wish I had an answer for you. If you don't feel like waiting for the relocation brackets any of the other relocating brackets will work fine with our torque arm as long as they work with the factory torque arm. From what I have seen on the internet alone I personally like the look of the BMR units the best but that's just my personal opinion.

All the other companies that I have seen make the holes very sloppy similar to the factory torque arm. All of our parts are not designed based on factory holes sizes or tolerances but very tight tolerances to just fit factory hardware for a proper tight tolerance fit. I did just go out and measure one of our brackets and it measures .554" mounting holes after powder coat. I haven't seen the UMI hardware but based on the measurement of .555" I'm guessing they are shipping 9/16" bolts instead of the factory 14mm bolts which will measure a maximum size .551" and a minimum size of .5405" if following American National Standards for metric hex screws. If you choose to drill out the bracket instead of replacing with factory size hardware I would be careful not to go oversize on the hole.

After drilling out the bracket holes to 9/16 the bolts slid in just fine with almost no play in them at all. My TSP true duals are rubbing against the TA but I don't believe that will cause any adverse reactions. Correct me if I am wrong about that and I will see what I can do to correct it. While I was at it I also installed your on car adjustable PHB, on car adjustable LCAs and relocation bracket. Everything on the install went smooth as butter with the exception of needing to drill the holes out a little larger. The trans relocation crossmember on the other hand...I think I might just have to sell the car if I have to change the bushing on the TA, haha.
I will say it is like driving an entirely different car now. I can put some spirit into accelerating now and now have the tires spinning with the tail end swinging to one side. I also noticed that my nose is much less likely to dip on hard braking as well. All in all I am very happy with the products and look forward to any future pieces you guys will put out.
