UMI tunnel mounted TA...Another reason to buy Kooks LTs I got around to installing my UMI adjustable torque arm a couple days ago. It looks like a great piece even though I haven't tested it on the street yet. I must say, after I purchased the recommended torque arm and driveshaft loop for Kooks headers and y I was a little skeptical. At first I didn't think the Kooks y was gonna clear, but low and behold, I've got an unbelievable amount of clearance between the y pipe AND the ground.
I've got to give it to UMI again for another great, well-designed product. I don't know if Spohn or BMR make Kooks specific torque arms and ds loops, but UMI does and I highly recommend it for anyone lowered or worried about ground clearance. I'll be sure to post up in another thread about how it lives on the street.

what this guy is saying is (I think) he got the UMI one that goes straight across, with LT's.. and no clearance issues

The spohn TA with the straight crossmember will fit the stock exhaust, Kooks and Mac header systems only.
The version of the Spohn TA that has the bend in the crossmember does cause ground clearance issues but it not needed with the above setups.

OldeSkool is right, I was talking about the crossmember that doesn't have the bend in it, just straight across.
Just a little heads up to guys who are planning their mods out before actually buying anything. I'm glad I went with Kooks, cause now I don't have to worry about ground clearance of aftermarket tunnel mounted t/a's or lowering the car.
For those asking for pics, I'm about to go set the pinion angle right now, so as soon as it's on the ground I'll get some pics. Might not be till tomorrow or the day after though.
