Question Which torque arm to use with LT's and lowering springs?

Those of you with longtuges and lowering springs which torque arm are you using? Most every one says to get one that takes the mount off the tranny. I have SLP subframes and G2 lowering springs which the springs rule out the Spohn TA for longtubes because I read here that it scrapes even on non lowered cars. I found that Yank makes a replacement tranny crossmember that takes the mount off the tranny and puts it on the crossmember but for $300 that about the cost of the TA itself. My car power wise is in about the 400/380 range. Do you thank a regular adj. TA would be ok for the occassional trip to the track?

I scrape everywhere!! I have the BMR trac pac, which is very similiar to the TA you are talking about. If you go to my website and click on the ground clearance pictures, you will see the xmember and how it is flat on the bottom from scraping. Also I have a dollar bill up there so you can get an idea of how little clearance you will have. As a note, I just replaced my springs with the 1LE, so the lack of clearance isn't because of sagging srpings.

EDIT: If you can get a custom xmember to mount flat across the bottom of the car and dump your pipes before the xmember that would be cool. Otherwise, the tranny mount would probably be ok. It's good for an 11.0 sec car.
