Best torque arm?

I need a new torque arm just for insurance to have sitting in the garage. My current one is a random technology torque arm but the rear mount recently snapped in two pieces causing horrible noises (https://youtu.be/5Q493rTQWgs). I got the rear mount welded back together and it looks pretty good but I'm not to sure how long the welds are going to hold up. The torque arm was loose and was hitting my driveshaft when shifting and coming to a stop thankfully my aluminum driveshaft is fine.

It got loose after I got into it with a cobra on a bumpy road

Really noticed it after taking it off Jack's to fix a fro the oil leak ( changed every timing cover seal to no success poured a bottle of bars rear main seal into it and magically no more leak I never trusted that stuff but it really works).

Re: Best torque arm?

Does the Random Technology torque arm use the stock front mount on the tail housing of the transmission? If so, generally better to get an arm that includes a front mount that moves the connection to the chassis. All my suspension parts are from Spohn Performance. I know the owner and he has used my car for dimensional purposes, test installs of prototype components, etc. Also saw him set up the suspension on a 1997 30th SS convertible that was pulling 1.2x 60-fts and running low 8's over 165 MPH.
