Which torque arm is better???
Hey guys I have 97 camaro SS. And I just broke the factory torque arm. I decided to spend little more money to get the aftermarket full length adjustable one. I'm thinking to get the SLP. But they’re expensive. I have a couple one I have my eyes on it. The SLP, BMR, and Edelbrock. Which one do you guys think is the best one? and which one is the last choice to get? And I have 12 bolts moser rear end with 4.11 gear.Thanks

I personally avoided the Edelbrock, I saw pics of more than one that were broken.
I find the SLP to be overpriced.
I went with the UMI adjustable unit myself. Very fine piece, and I feel the BMR unit is as well. Dealer's choice between the two.

BMR will not warranty their torque arm, when installed on the Moser 12-bolt, because the Moser does not use the stock "through bolt" type rear mount.
Is it possible the 4 seperate bolts used on the Moser came loose, contributing to the failure of your stock TA?
Consider Spohn Performance:

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MOSER 12 BOLT USERS: This product is only warrantable on rear axles that utilize the factory style "through bolts" to connect the torque arm to the rear end. Moser 12 bolt rear ends utilize a threaded bolt hole that has been proven to have bolt retention issues when used with aftermarket torque arms. If you have this particular rear axle, understand this warranty disclaimer and still wish to use this product, keep in mind that lock washers, or Loctite brand thread sealants are not substitutes for periodic bolt inspection.

THanks guys for the info. I found somebody selling a used SLP adjustable TA for $150 + shipping. BUt after I talked to him on the phone, he's willing to sell it to me for $150 shipped. I think for right would be fine. BUt on the future when I have more HP I'm gonna get the BMR extreme.
