Adjustable Torque arm.

Is there any really good reason to have an adjustable torque arm, or will a regular torque arm be just fine. My car is daily driven. Its never seen the track, and it won't see it alot, but occasionally. Thanks.

An a adjustable torque arm allows you to dial in the pinion angle on the rear end. If yours is just a daily driver and not a hot rod, the fixed torque arm should work fine.

for a car making a lot of power with slicks and is for drag racing, having an adjustable pinion angle helps with the tuning of the chassis so you can plant the tires harder. honestly, if you don't ever see any track time and the car isn't going to see track time, i might put a poly torque arm mount on the car and call it a day.

It'll see some track time occasionally, but not now. I don't plan on beating on it all the time so I guess I'll go with a fixed one.
