BMR trakpak

Do any of you run the BMR trakpak torque arm package? http://www.bmrfabrication.com/torque%20arm/trakpak.gif I like the idea of the seperate crossmember and the shorter TQ arm. If anyone has used it what kind of performance increase did you see? Right now I have a modified stock TQ arm. Has a 1/4" thick plate of steel welded to it. Thing is as strong as could be and has handeld low 11 second passes, but it is really heavey and ugly. I want to improve and maybe get some better suspension geometry.

i think it looks like a pretty descent design for the stip, but being much shorter than stock, you probably wouldn't want to use it, if you use yoru car for auto-x or something that would require max. braking performance.

yep i do. and drive it everyday. not recommended for lowered cars though. there won't be enough ground clearance with the bar.
