A bit confusing.... you just bought a Hotchkis kit and now you are thinking about buying an Edelbrock kit with many of the same parts???? What are you going to do with two sets of sway bars, two sets of rear control arms, two panhard rods, two sets of 1" lowering springs, etc???
Or are you simply asking if you should add an Edelbrock torque arm to the Hotchkis parts you already bought?
You are missing out on a lot of really good components by locking yourself into kits.... BMR, Spohn and Global West, not to mention a few others seem to have a much better grasp on the 4ht Gen F-Body market, and what works best. The Edelbrock shocks are nowhere near the capabilities and performance of the Bilstien or Koni shocks. The torque arm looks extremely flimsy, and still attached to the stock mount on the tailshaft of the tranny..... something other vendors avoid.

Bud M 03-27-2006, 09:49 AM Do some searches, Edelbrock suspension parts are not that great
sine you already got the hotchkis parts, then I would look at BMR or Spohn for a torque arm, preferrably one that does not mount to the tranny. Since you have lowering springs I would look into a set of revalved bilsteins.
Bud M 03-27-2006, 09:09 PM Unless you are racing I would not worry about a torque arm yet. I'd get revalved Bilsteins or Konis.
