The De-coupled TA is the best hands down. It acts like a short body torque arm on acceleration, which are best for launching and keeping the rear planted, but on braking it acts as a long torque arm, putting the affective point actually ahead of the stock mounting point, which greatly reduces wheel hop on braking. The only cons to that arm are price, and setting it up, IMO.

Perfect. I thank you for your opinion. I just hope that with my current set up it doesn't present too much of a problem during installation. Yeah, price is definitely a con. I figure BMR LCA and Panhard rod (Adjustables) should be good enough. Thanks again.
