Default Spohn Torque Arm ?

Is there any benefit of going with the Torque Arm that is the Tunnel Brace Mount or the one that is the Transmission Mount? I just broke my stock one and am looking to replace it with somthing stronger.

Thanks All!

if your worried about putting extra stress on the tranny you could always buy a relocation kit from bmr or umi and that would fix that problem

The shorter tunnel brace mount will improve your traction a bit more and is better suited to drag racing (and works well on the street too, I have one). However, these are prone to causing wheel hop on hard braking. If you plan to road race get the longer TA and move it off the transmission.

Now I'm torn between the two. The car is a street car, but I do make it to the drag occasionally and would love the best traction I can get, street or drag, (which is why I am leaning towards the tunnel brace mounted one)
