Default Torque arm options with t-400?

I will be doing this conversion as I have new plans for my car. What are my options as far as torque arms go? I have read that the BMR extreme torque arm arks, but thats a bit expensive. What else will work? Thanks

there are relocation brackets for TQ arms sold by BMR and yank that will fit up with a stock sized Tq arm. that way it will mount up to that instead of the tailshaft of the tranny.

Here is the BMR and Yank torque arm relocation + TH400 trans crossmembers, I went 1.41 60's on 9" slicks with this setup in my other car so it works OK. I like this setup becase it doesnt interfere with the exhaust and I prefer the longer torque arm. Wouldnt use it on an eight second car but it will work well into the 9s.

Thanks for the replys. I already got the t-56 crossmember coming, so I wouldn't be getting the bmr crossmember. I like the Spohns pricing. Should I get the one that has the Polyueraphane front mount, or the Rod ended version? I dont care about noise..Is the mild steel strong one for 10's?
