Unbalanced Engineering de-coupled torque arm

I know it's a long shot, but I'm looking for an Unbalanced Engineering torque arm. I'm hoping that someone here is willing to part with one. I have no preference on which style. Please let me know what's available.

If you can't find a UB, i think vse is making them again.

Re: Unbalanced Engineering de-coupled torque arm

In that case, do you know how I can contact them? I'm having trouble finding a website for VSE.

Thank you, I'll check him out. I also got a line on an Unbalanced Engineering TA, so my fingers are crossed.

After some extensive searching on Facebook, I'm not a regular user, I was able to get a hold of Matt. The current economy has pushed his prices up, so I will try to acquire a used piece in the meantime.

The price for the torque arm is $1400 + shipping. He is also mailing me a brochure covering the products he makes.

I messaged him directly through Facebook. Here is the page link.

Re: Unbalanced Engineering de-coupled torque arm

Have you guys had any issues getting in contact/getting parts from Matt at VSE? I've been trying to buy a rear spoiler for a couple of weeks and I'm wondering is there's a better way to contact them. Email has been inconsistent.

Matt responded the same day for me through Facebook. I expect that he's busy.

Re: Unbalanced Engineering de-coupled torque arm

Nice. There's some cool stuff in there. I still need to ask him what he recommends for springs. I asked Matt about weight jacks and he said he prefers to rely on an adjustable sway bar. I'm assuming lowering springs are also out due to the unique way of lowering the front.
