s60 rear and umi torque arm?

[chevyrules85]

i bought a strange s60 rear, and havent installed it yet, waiting for a warm enought day to paint it first. i also bought a umi adjustable full length torque arm. i noticed it has dual bolt patterns... will i have to cut the mounting part like you do with the bmr and spohn? anyone running this combo? thanks guys!

I'm using the UMI torque arm with the relocation bracket to get it off the tailshaft. It bolts right up to the S60. The S60 fits like a glove. The only thing I had to rework was one brake line bracket and that was minor. You'll like it.

got it in primer today so we'll see. one other guy pmed me an said he had to cut it to fit the s60. whats the deal with the dual bolt pattern? which set of holes did you use?

Mine bolted right up. S60 fits perfect. I also happen to have a DS off my car that you need for the s60. Ill sell it to you if you need it.

My torque arm is mounted using the outer holes (closest to the rear end housing). I'm using the relocation bracket and it lines up good. Maybe if you are mounting to the trans. you could cut the outer holes off and it would line up better. I'm not sure, I guess you could check with UMI . I like the relocation bracket, I don't like the idea of the TA mounted to the trans.
After reading AC's post I remembered you have to shorten your driveshaft. You may want to pickup his.

ac, actually i still do need a ds and was looking around for something to hold up to my future build, 600ish hp... what kinda shaft you got and what you asking for it?

Mines rated to 800hp and Id do 200 for it. Thats like 50% off and it has like 500 miles on it.
Its the black one in the pic.
