Torque Arm or Mini 4 Link...
Ive started the build up of my 8.8 again and i have a question. My car is daily driven and is aimed towards handling. It will very rarely see time at the strip. Which would be better for handling. Leaving the torque arm or the mini 4 link setup most people run with modified 8.8's Ive heard there isnt a noticeable difference with the mini 4 link setup as far as feel over the torque arm. is that true ?

The torque arm suspension does not need to be changed on these cars. Stiffen everything up with spherical rod ends and let er rip. Unless you are doing a full back half and looking for more than 2,000 HP, the torque arm suspension is just fine.

its easier then you think but you have to tack it from undreath your car to insure good fitment. Their is a suprising amount of movement in the t/q arm so it is not as crucial as you might think. IF you really want it go for it.

well put, the panhard rod controls the side to side movement, the only difference i noticed in my car was much harder bite on the tires. Most people who ride in my car dont know unless i tell them.
