Global West Traclink System

Specs and advantages.
-
Attaches to the rear axle and controls rear end torque during acceleration, transferring this energy into the tires, increasing straight line traction.
Reduces nose-dive during braking.
Eliminates wheelhop.
Increases sidebite during corner exit acceleration
Simple bolt-on system does not require complete interior removal as with other kits.
Provides an attachment point for driveshaft safety loop.
Removes the factory torque arm pivot point from the rear of the transmission.
Changes the instantaneous center and leverage point from stock.
Provides adjustable pinion angle.
Traclink equipped cars won nationals this year in SCCA racing.
Only available at this time in BLACK.

My questions, does this work in conjunction WITH the Torque arm? Will i need to maintain a stock type setup for the torque arm or can i run BMR's Extreme duty torque arm?

The Global West Trac Link is a torque arm. I myself will be going with the BMR Torque Arm for my 92 RS.

So what are the benefits to this over the BMR Extreme duty tq arm?

Do i need to be using a 700r4 in this application or is it even an issue.

The Global West trac link & BMR Extreme duty torque arm are pretty much the same, they are both shorter than the stock TA's. They have a version for manual trans and a version for auto trans.

I think those two would yield very similar results. I am just going to get the BMR Bolt-In TA because anything more is overkill for my daily driven RS. I dont think my RS will be seeing any 11 second runs in the 1/4 mi any time soon.

I am not quite sure what you are asking, the back part of the TA still attaches to the rear axle, it's the front of the TA (pivot point)that is remove from the stock location (rear of trans).
