adjustable torque arm

well i was lookin around on the internet and was considering picking up a adjustable torque arm but i wanted to know if anyone who has done it before found it worth while to put it in, of course i gotta put new rod barings in the engine and pull the b!tch out again but if you have any information let me know

what is the purpose of the car? if there is serious competition use in it's future, then yes, it's DEFINITELY worth the money/hassle. my father has one of spohn's units and we're SUPER pleased with it. it's really not that hard to do too.

right...but are you planning to be competetive? i know people with stock stuff that 60' in the 1.5 range. but an adjustable torque arm will do two things:

1. hopefully decrease 60' times
2. make the 60' times more consistant.
