Default torque arm relocation setting

I did a search but i was unable to find the info i need. I purchased a torque arm relocation bracket from umi during the labor day sale. Wondering if theres a way to determine which set of holes to start with for the forward torque arm mount? I would imagine this needs to be set first and then the driveline angle. Thoughts?

Yup. Thanks for the purchase.

The lowest set is rarely used. The middle two sets are nearly stock. The top set changes the instant center just a but for more forward traction.

I'd start on 2 or 3 unless you're drag racing a lot then got to four.

Driveline angle is last.

Have a great weekend.

Did you try the third hole from the bottom dr whigham? Any reason not to use the more drag oriented setting?

I've got Spohn solid motor mounts, and we all know they raise the engine approx half an inch... I thought to give it a shot and see what it did at the second hole from bottom, but only because I'm stock ride height.

Took the car to 80mph, with stints at 60, 65, 70, 75... No vibration or anything. Seems to like it so far. I'll delve deeper into it though once I get the rest of the suspension in, which will be UMI on-car adjustable LCA's and PHB.

I did energy suspension poly motor trans and torque arm mounts at the same time as my tsp 1 7/8 headers and ory. Already had founders lower control arms lcarb's and on car adjustable panhard bar. Caught the founders adj torque arm on initial sale and couldnt resist umi's labor day sale on the relocation crossmember

Can't beat UMI's customer service either. Always great to get on the phone and talk to folks that know, and have RAN these parts.
