Default TQ arm recommendation... 10 sec and below

Working on the suspension and am going to purchase a tq arm next week. The car currently goes high 11s, but am shooting for 10s on motor and 9s on gas. Don't want to buy things twice, so am looking for some recommendations.

Spohn looks like it bolts to the oem crossmember holes. Anybody have any experience with these?

I have a Spohn tq arm. Awesome customer service, and yes it does bolt to the stock oem crossmember holes. I have ZERO wheel hop since I put this torque arm on also. Currently cutting 1.5X 60 foots with it.

I have heard the spohn TQ arm works well. But in my opinion were the spohn bolts up to were the crossmember is, seems not to strong. It seems like a weak place for it to mount. I don't know though if any one pulling some low 60 fts have had any problem with it. It is just something i have observed. I second the BMR extreme duty TQ arm

I hope my "regular" TQ arm holds up to what I'm going to be doing to it soon....
