Picking a specific torque arm based on setup ? As title says, I need some helping with picking which torque arm would suit my needs based on my car's setup. Here's the specs: 400rwhp NA A4, QA1s, LCAs, relocation brackets, 17" Nitto DR or M/T radials (stock rim), full weight (optioned car) minus AC and battery moved to the back.
Heard about all the BMRs breaking, heard how the Madman's make our cars hook like, well, a madman.......For my "mild" setup, will any TA make the same improvement, or will the Madman help a step further? OR.....will one even make an improvement at this level?

The MADMAN torque arm is a very nice piece. Its one of only 2 torque arms that has adjustable instant center. I personally like the MADMAN over the Wolfe because it had the built in driveshaft loop and was a shorter design. Its a very stout piece. I wouldn't skimp now, then upgrade later. You may have a mild setup now, but believe me, drag racing is very addicting and you may find yourself getting deeper and deeper into the mods. Even if your setup does remain mild, there's nothing wrong with running the MADMAN.
