dropped, pinion angle & adj tq arm

i dropped my formula over the past few months with a 1.3 drop in the front and 1.6 in the rear. i also used relocation brackets in the drop. iv heard there is ground clearance issues when using a adj tq arm on a dropped car. i thought they were to help correct issues with dropped and modded cars and cground clearance wouldnt be a problem.
can someone make reccomendations for one they use and enlighten me.

i installed the Spohn adjustable torque arm/ drive shaft loop kit on my car. the new trans crossmember now sits about 3/4 inch lower to the ground. they also make adjustable torque arms that bolt to the tailshaft where the stock one went. one of these would not affect ground clearance.

yes they make a few diferent types. i chose the style with the new transmount because with enough power it is possible to snap the tailshaft off. go to www.spohn.net
