What i like about this one from Spohn is what looks to be a built-in DS loop up front.

Are the tunnel brace T arms better then the tranny mounted ones?

i know you can get the built in DS loop on the umi ones too. you can get a front or a front and a rear loop. i have no idea which one is best. i have heard good things about the spohn one but most say that one sits rather low.

If you look in this section, on this first page you can find a thread that I posted where a ton of people have listed their torque arms that they use and their 60's. I thought I would tell you since everyone has already posted up...

Hello, just to give you another option, all of our torque arms are in stock and will ship same day. We have several different styles to chose from. If you decide to go with a full length arm i would strongly suggest our torque arm relocation bracket. It take the torque arm off of the tranny, saves you from breaking the tailshaft. Give us a call if you have any questions our tech/sales dept is open MON-FRI 8:30AM-6:00PM EST. I'll post a link to our site and a couple of pics.

I went & ordered a BMR standard full lenth non-adj. unit, i was going to go with the fully adj. floor mount one from UMI or Spohn, but i still need a D shaft, didn't realize this Edelbrock unit wasn't going to work, so now i need to buy 2 thinks, kindof sucks but thats the way it goes sometimes lol, The tech at BMR told me the standard arm will be all i'll need for what i'm doing.

Thanks guys.

Non-adj FTL! You need the adjustability even on a street car.
