Looking for a good torque arm, a few questions.
Hey guys I did a search and I'm trying to figure out a good torque arm for me. I'm building my car to be an "all around" car. Not just straight line, not just twisties kind of car. Since I installed the weight jacks ofcourse the wheel hop has come back a touch. What would be a good all around torque arm set up? Adjustablility also is an absolute must. Any recommendations?

Any of the adjustable, full length crossmember mounted arms should meet what you're looking for. UMI, BMR, Spohn all make them. Just stay away from the short-style torque arms if handling is a priority

Re: Looking for a good torque arm, a few questions.
I had the Spohn setup and like it. The only thing I didnt like about it is that the crossmember does not allow for good exhaust clearance.
What kind of rear control arms do you have? I use to have wheel hop, but then I boxed the rear control arms in. The wheel hop went away. I'm still going to get good tubular arms one day, but for $10 for the metal this will work for now.

Re: Looking for a good torque arm, a few questions.
Thanks for suggesting UMI Performance. We do offer a few different versions of adjustable torque arms. Our mounting bracket works with all of the aftermarket and stock rear ends. And they all feature Energy Suspension bushings. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!
