which torque arm for me?

which torque arm would be the best for me?

i have a convertible, with Kenny brown double diamond SFC's.

i plan to make this car ALOT faster in the coming years. is there a weld in TA that will fit my car?

help me decide.

Unless you have a problem with your current torque arm you shouldn't "need" one until about 400hp. In which case you would probably want one that has the forward mount off the transmission tailshaft such as the BMR track pack torque arm. But unfortunatly I don't think that one will work with the diamond style SFC's you have.

Get a Spohn TA with the cross brace under the car that the frt. of the TA bolts to. This is the version I got and DDSFC's have no interference on its install. The only thing you'll have to do is get longer bolts to mount up the cross brace since it will bolt on underneath the steel pads for the DD connectors. My TA uses rod ends frt. and rear, no poly bushings at all. Some pics here of my setup:

thanks CMAN, i will be getting that one.

does anyone know if its compatible with a lakewood driveshaft loop?

im thinking i will have to use the spohn DSL, because the front torque arm mount will not clear the lakewood DSL....

Get the Spohn with the loop, it is available as an option. You can't install a Spohn TA with the cross brace and keep the lakewood loop.

I had the l/wood before but sold it to install my Spohn TA, if you notice in my pics I have 2 d/shaft loops in place, a frt one and a rear one.
