Default Whats your torque arm and60'?

I have been looking at buying an adjustable torque arm but I am not for sure which one to go with. Sooo, list what brand and kind you have, what your 60' is and what it's set at please. I appreciate the help!

Jesus gimp you have yours slugged way down there, I have mine 3 holes up from that.

By looking at the angles, doing that moves the instant center backwards which with what happened to me last sunday I don't think I want to do.

Where are your lower control arms? I have mine one hole down from stock in the bmr relocation brackets.


Back on topic, I am running the same setup as gimp, went 1.36 last weekend, and a 1.41 on the rear tires, when the sig pic was taken.

sorry to be off topic but if your instant center is moved back,doesnt that keep the front end down? just wondering.

btw, i have a BMR trak pack - its the el cheapo tq arm that mounts to a crossmember. i have gone a best of 1.37 60.

I would love a good explanation to be honest, I've just read all the old threads about it and I can't make sense out of it.

I just want to know, if the car's standing up, what is going to help stop it, moving the front of the tq arm up or down, with the rear control arm angle not changing?

I am running the Spohn Long Torque arm with UMI relo bracket. I put the new springs in the back of the car with the torque arm all the bottom holes and the car had 0 weight transfer on hurt my 60' from 1.58's to 1.64's. I moved the torque arm all the way up to try and remedy this....did I go too far? Any input on this?
