We don't have an ETA at this time. If you can't wait for ours I would recommend using the BMR one.

I know you guys already so you had no plans for a group buy, but if you do end up doing one, you'll have another torque arm sold here.

You guys are griping about a group buy, yet they're priced a LOT lower than everyone else?

You're kidding me

No, they want it marked up just to have it marked down and called a sale.

If anyone is interested in one in red and lives around Chicago, I'll be willing to sell my Founder's Performance bar for this 179.06 price. It's brand new and never has been installed - found out this won't mount onto a MWC rear-end.

I paid the full price, and it was worth every penny. I'm nearly 800 rwhp, and went from the stock stamped piece to this one from Founders, and the rear feels much more planted than it did before.

I just installed a new Founders Perf torque arm I bought from a member on here. The install went easy with my S60 and UMI trans crossmember. Founders should really be proud of their torque arm because the engineering and quality of the fabrication are outstanding. As an example: on the rear mount where they weld two plates at 90 deg to each other instead of having only two fillet welds on each side they cut a window in the back plate opposite the 90 deg plate and then welded the window up for total of 3 welds to connect the two plates.The alignment and class of fit of the bolt holes on the rear mount plate are also first rate.
The threaded bushings are welded to the torque arm with rosette welds in addition to welding around the bushing circumference. (google spohn torque arm failure to see poor circumferential welds without rosettes fail). The center web is also welded in to capture the rear threaded bushings. All good things.

Hmm, good to know.

I love Founders and find that they provide fantastic products for the price. I just wish that they had developed, manufactured, tested, and released both the TQ Arm & Relocation Crossmember at the same time.

I've seen Founders recommend the BMR crossmember for the guys that cannot wait for the Founders bracket. Any chance we could get an update from Founders where the crossmember stands?
