BMR or UMI, both are great.

Will you be doing the install yourself?

**35th-ANV-SS** · 04-29-2010, 08:04 PM

Congrats! I got the BMR Trak Pak with mine. It's a stout piece.

Congrats! I went with the UMI tunnel mount for our 12 bolt. Post up some pics of the install, please.

That is a mod I want to bad especially aftre trashing the factory 3.23's buy didn't have th extra cash so just threw in some 3.73's and a cheap rebuild kit but after the stall and cam I want the 9". Only difference is i have a A4 so I want to stay with 3.73's.

I posted a thread of my 12 bolt install (with lots of pics): http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=127890 It really wasn't that bad to do. The biggest challenge was modifying the parking brake brackets to work with my relocation brackets.

**qwk93ta** · 05-02-2010, 08:28 AM

I went with a 9" in my 93 T/A, I wish I had one in my WS6. All of my suspension is UMI stuff.

Cool thanks. I'll be reading this when it comes time to install mine

**INMY01TA** · 05-02-2010, 05:12 PM

I hate tunnel mounted torque arms so I'll say go with a full legnth unit. I'm a Spohn man all the way. Whichever you get, get the longer bolts to go with it.

**devildogws6** · 05-03-2010, 05:06 PM

Wow sweet guys, and my friend will be doin install im in PA for school he is in MN with car lol i'll make sure he takes tons of pics and thanks for advice ha, i think i may go with full lengthe do to clearance issues

**KC&97TA** · 05-08-2010, 08:18 AM

I have the UMI relocated to the tunnel, I'm lowered, once in awhile I have a thud of the TQ Arm hitting the tunnel, but it'll clearance itself.

I like the TQ Arm off the tranny, I'd advise if you go full length to get it relocated off the transmission, all the road vibration and axle rotation get's transmitted into the pot metal aluminum... doesn't make for a good day when the transmission houseing cracks.

The crossmember mount will handle 500hp easy & if it's a street car your gonna hate the tunnel mount!!

I hear this all the time... I don't hear any bang'ing or any more "noise" out of the tunnel mount, maybe it's just me, maybe it's the 3pt subframe's distributeing it.

If I put a hand full of quaters in the cup holder then I get some vibration noises, same goes if there's a bunch of loose change in the center console... other wise it's good.

I think he meant a full legnth torque arm with the transmission crossmember relocation mount. Basically takes your tranny mounted arm and makes it a body mounted one. I don't recommend this tho as you'll pay $280 for the arm then another $240 for the new crossmember.
