Does anyone have a Torque Arm relocation bracket? Is it a good product? Do any other companies make it? Do you think it will make any increase in performance since it is adjustable?

I dont have much in means of horsepower or torque but im looking for stuff to make my car handle better. Roadholding and cornering is what im after.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me if handling is your goal, your $$ might be better spent with swaybars, springs, panhard bar, tires and brakes -etc.... Not sure if the torque arm bracket will help it handle any better...it might get better traction off the line for drag racing, LCA reloction brackets do that too.

Re: UMI Performance Torque Arm Relocation Crossmember

I already have swaybars and poly bushings, rear control arms w/ poly, LCARB, Konis soon, Panhard bar w/ poly and rodend, Edelbrock struttower brace, alston subframe connectors, and TDS wonderbar.

I was looking for stuff to make my car a little more forgiving with throttle in turns. Dont get me wrong its a beast at cornering but if i give a little too much throttle the backend likes to race the front for first. I was hoping that Toqure arm relocation mount and a torque arm with poly would help it get traction in and out of turns.

The drifting around the turns is the fun part!

I just thought that a built in torque arm mount would remove the torque arm and should do the trick while it guards the tail shaft from bungling.
