I can attest to them acting as lift bars. I've been told and have felt my rear end lift with the addition of these. I'm non-lowered and run on 255/50/16 DRs, and I've been able to pull mid-1.6s with my 3800 stall, MT DRs, 3.23s, at full 3625 lb. (without my 290 lb. a$$) with a lid, tranny tune, and catback. I think that is a pretty good 60' considering my weight and power level (I suspect around 320-330 RWHP.) I had the TA set up around -2.0*.
I hope this helps

I've had no experience with the weld-in. I've have the bolt-in and they've worked fine for me. The car is never going to go much faster than in the high-10s (eventually) so I figure these will be just fine.
From your signature, I'm sure the bolt-ons will be just fine for ya'. I got BMR here, and they bolted in with just a little cutting to the E-brake brackets and I obtained some longer bolts for where the LCA bolts into the relocation bracket. Besides finding some longer bolts, it couldn't have been easier ;D

Our bolt in relocation brackets are fabricated from the same material as the weld in so material strength is not an issue. Most people go to a weld in style relocation bracket when they choose to run an aftermarket style rearend where the bolt in relocation brackets will not work.

I thought the UMI instructions were sub-par... anyone have install instructions that are understandable? Anyone have a link or something to Spohns instructions or BMR's instructions? I have a weld in set that I am gonna try to fab into the S60 soon...

Just a question to add, I'm going back to my stock springs tomorrow from the sportlines I have on now due to exhaust clearance issues. I have the weld ins with adjustable LCA's set on the lower hole on the bracket. Can I leave this alone? I would rather not cut off the brackets altogether. If I can leave it do I have to adjust the LCA's out some to compensate for the extra height? Sorry if these are dumb questions been up for like 46 hours.

Hello,
You would need a set built specifically for the Moser rear end, they can be here- www.umiperformance.com/2011
If you have any questions please ask. Thank you!

No performance reasons, the bolt-on only work on the factory rear and the Strange brand aftermarket housings. For all other housings you will need the weld-in relocation brackets.

My BMR bolt in brackets have grown with me from my 10 bolt to my Moser 9".
They needed a little bit to be cut off, but they are working.
I went bolt-on because I wanted to have the option to sell them when I went
9", but luckily they can still be a part of my car.
I recommend them strongly, stock or lowered.
