BMR Trak Pak Torque arm install

I ordered a BMR Trak Pak Torque arm to help with traction. I also need some Subframe connectors? I don't know which ones will work out the best because that torque arm crossmember needs to be welded on to a SFC. I was wondering if any of the members here are using the trak pak torque arm from BMR? And If so what all did you do for the install? Any info would help Thanks in advance
Tony

I had the BMR for a short time. yes, you need to weld the crossbar to cub frame connectors. That crossarm hangs so low though because of the "droop" area that it dragged on everything.

I soon removed it and bought the spohn tq arm. I would reccommend you do the same before you weld it in, see if you can return it.

The Spohn tq arm was very easy to install.

The spohn torque arm mounts to the tranny right? I don't want a arm that mounts to the tranny. I think I might still go with the bmr track pack I here a lot of positives about the great traction of this unit.

No, the Spohn tq arm does NOT mount to the tranny. It mounts to a brand new crossmember included with the kit. You throw your old crossmember out or give it away.
