Random Technology, BMR, Spohn are among some of the best torque arms out.

I have the BMR full length torque arm. I paid somewhere around $370 for it. Very good quality and a noticeable difference in street traction.

Spohn! Bent 2 other before it. Heavy duty. No welding required for install. If you dont mind welding then BMR.

This adj. Random Tech has done a fine job for me for about two years now. I'm now in the 9s with it and I think it'll take me into the 8s too.

I'll be running the Stealth Torque arm once I feel I need to upgrade it. It comes with its own crossmember with the front attachment point and is the stock length. IMO if you use a shorter t/a you'll be more prone to large wheel stand(wasted energy) so thats why I'm gonna get the longest one availible for my setup cause I'm gonna have mondo torque down low <img src="images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Why does the BMR require welding? I am planing on getting BMRs Drag Trak Pak that has the shorter Torque Arm that does not attatch to the transmission. Please let me know about this welding.

The front support brace (cross bar) for the TA is welded to the subframe connectors. It does not bolt to the factory g-load brace location.
