Installed BMR Torque Arm and it definitely improved the traction issue and wheel hop. also have lcas subframes and phb.
had a couple runs last night from rolls and the traction issue in the past because of the 4.11s in the rear was almost completely gone.
torque arm gets my vote, however the installation can just suck a nut. the worst part was getting the top bolt of the clamshell threaded and torqued down because of the poly mount.
good stuff though. just me .02

I just got one. Can't wait to install it. I know what your talking about with the top bolt on the tranny tailshaft. I had a hard time with that putting the tranny back in after the clutch install.

BMR PARTS dumdumdum, everything in my suspension is BMR or QA1/HAL, the best thing i ever did to the car, i used to have zero traction, now it hooks even when i dont want it to.
great choice.

i have the bmr TQ arm and i love it. i have the um1 relocation bracket also and i love it to, it's a great combo. i have a vibration after 90mph ever since i installed the relocation crossmemeber but i think it changed the pinion angle just a little bit. i'm glad you like it

before i installed the umi crossmember, i had my bmr tq arm set at -2. then i put the umi crossmember on and i didn't check my pinion angle the install. when i installed it, i did notice that it looks like the location of the new mount is a little lower then ware it would bolt to the tranny. so actually it prob gave me more negative pinion angle causing my vibration. i just didn't get a chance to check it yet.

I just installed a spohn adjustable torque arm with the relocation brace and a drive shaft loop. Set the pinion angle at -1 degree. Had to tweak the Y pipe about a 1/4 inch to clear. No wheel hop with the drag radials now. The only thing I noticed so far is a clunk when shifting from 2nd to 3rd under light acceleration (auto trans).
