Default BMR Torque Arm Relocation Kit, just as good as the Xtreme Torque Arm?

Is the BMR Relocation kit crossmember mount with an BMR adjustable torque arm just as good as the Xtreme Torque Arm kit if I run a sticky street tire? I am 99.9% sure I will never run slicks. My deal is that I have the SLP boxed Subframes on already and I don't want to hack and try to reweld all that up with the Xtreme kit. Just trying to get some opinions.


Thanks

is it as good as the xtreme duty torque arm? no.

is it good enough for not running sticky tires. probably so, it should even be fine in the stock mounting location on the transmission.

Thanks for the info.... So that BMR Mount and Torque arm should be just fine on the street with my Nitto's... I don't think I could break into the 10's on the track anyway with my current set up, But I am buying for the future also.

I should be high 11's this year and I installed the BMR crossmember.It's a nice piece and leaves room for true duels.The only complaint is slightly more road noise/vibration but its way less then the extreme crossmember setups I've ridden in,plus its not "clunky" over bumps.

Well, if you are buying for the future then you need the "Madman" TQ arm.

Are you using the chrome moly TQ arm or just the steel one...? Just wondering if the chrome moly is worth another 150$?
