Too bad most of the kits are only 2 holes, if you run a tall tire and have your car lowered you won't be able to get the angle you need.

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...

When installing weld in relocation brackets you want to make sure you are doing it right the first time. You can reach me on Monday in the office and I can go over the procedure on the phone with you

In the mean time, here are the Install Instructions for our weld-on relocation brackets:

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.

You should be able to leave them at the same setting no problem.

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!

Is there any specific reason why someone would run weld-ins over bolt-ins? Or vice versa? Any performance reasons?

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.

with the UMI bolt in relocation brackets is there any modifications you need to make so they fit? or are they 100% bolt in?

They are a 100% bolt in, on the LS1 models all you need to do is bend out cut the emergency brake brackets.. which is very easy to do.

If you have any additional questions please ask.

Thank you!
