Default Torque Arm Relocation Bracket

I am starting to put on a BMR torque arm relocation bracket and transmission mount on my M6 car. Is there anything that I might run into? I'm also installing a rear sway bar and is there anything I need to worry about? My car has been lowered 1" and what is the best setting to start with? Any input will be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Also anything that I run into I will post it if anybody wants it.

Just finished the installing everything. I did the sway bar first and found that there is not much room to get the nut started. To fix this I had my room-mate hold up one end and then used a small hydralicjack to apply enough pressure to get the nut started then moved to the other side. Everything went pretty good. Then came the bitch. My car has dual 3" with an x-pipe making it hard to accomplish much. Also don't let your drunk neighbor try and help they just get in the way, exspecially if they don't know much about what is going on.

1. You might want to get some different bolts for the TA bushing clamp, ( the little allen head ones that come with the kit are a pain in the *** to tighten in such a little space).
2. Take a drill or a file and remove the powdercoating from inside the bolt holes, otherwise I would have almost had to thread the bolts through the hole.
3. Take the driveshaft out and unplug the speedometer connection
(right in front of the original TA mount). Makes everything go alot more smoothly.
4. Make sure that no-one has tightened any of the bolts up.
5. Order pizza to get the drunk out from under the car and out of your way.
6. Use a small hydralic jack to lift and hold the TA in the desired position.

Please forgive the spelling, I went to work at 5:15am and now it is 2:30am and have to go back to work in 3 hours. Hope this helps
