Default LG Motorsports G2 Torque Arms on sale to LS1 Tech members

LG Motorsports is offering our G2 Torque arm at a sale price of $395 for the next 2 weeks.

I haven't even told the sales staff yet, so just let them know that I posted this and they will check with me on the pricing.

This is our new version with beefed up mounting tabs.

Also if you buy this with any other suspension parts, we will offer a 10% discount on any other parts that you get at the same time. ( Coil Overs excluded)

Thanks

Lou Gigliotti LGMotorsports

Thumbs up

Hey Lou,
Don't wanna hi-jack your thread... but Congrats on the 3rd place finish in GA. Just watched the race on Speed TV. Looks like you blew the engine on the last lap and still held it together for the podium. All I gotta say is must be some good parts holding it together. LSx engines.

The rules mandate that we use Lingenfelter heads and they are ported too thin. The heads crack between the intake port and the rocker bosses. It sucks oil in on deceleration so we put out all that oil smoke on the last lap. We finished the last lap on 7 cylinders and just barely got 3rd place.

We are trying to get the AFR heads approved for 2005.


the Torque arm is a beefed up version of the original G2 arm. It pulls the front wheels off the ground with a 1.4 60' time. and it is the best roadracing arm out there, bar none.

Thanks guys

You know what they say about adjustable parts. 8 way adjustable shocks will give you 7 ways to be wrong. So don't wish for adjustable torque arms either.

Feel free to post this up in any other section here.

thanks

There is alot of truth to that statement. However in my case I wouldn't be wishing for an adjustable if I didn't genuinely need one. My car is pretty much slammed for ORR use and because of this my pinion angle is off causing some bad vibrations between 100 mph and 135 mph or so. Remember, some people are actually qualified to make the adjustments. I've been trying to stick to LG suspension parts because of their proven status, but in this case I'm going to have to look elsewhere I guess.

Lou, will this work with aftermarket rear ends? Just want to make sure I can use it when I snag my 12-bolt.

Doh, sorry Mitch. Figured most people prob allready had checked the web for the race results. I'm just one who likes watching it when I can. Still a good race watch if you recorded it.

Good question...

Let me go check the piggy bank. If I have enough $$$, I just may go all out Lou.

I have seen this torque arm on 12 bolts before.

However, ANY torque arm will require you to tighten the hell out of the bolts that mount the TA to the diff and use liberal amounts of loctite.

Also, put the nuts on the bottom, bolts from the top.

If the nuts do come loose, at least the bolts will hold the TA in place.

Make sure you tell the person at LGM you are using it on a 12 bolt ...
