MWC needs to add puck as option. That's a good idea. Just hard to add after the rear is powder coated.

I am in the same boat my friend! I talked to someone last week and they said I should have it this Friday. I am not going to get my hopes up though.

I sure could do that, but it would cost like 30.00 to add... not worth it to me when you can use a scrap piece of 2x4 for free

I think the puck takes away from the look. Just put a piece of wood between your jack and the rear

Why don't you just use a rubber pad on your jack? Or an old buffing pad? Why ruin the look of the rear end with a piece of tubing sticking down?

I've got an issue installing the short torque arm on my car. The issue is with the tunnel mount and clearance for my American racing headers 3" offroad y-pipe. The driver side mount of the tunnel mount works out fine, but when we go to put the passenger side up to the chassis, we need about 1" or 1.25" more clearance to reach the holes. The y-pipe is as high as it goes naturally and a little pushed up with the bracket on the passenger side. It can be bolted in if we put a lot of un-needed stress on the headers and flanges at the heads. I am working with this torque arm mount:



What's the solution here? Spacer of some sort? Double drop crossmember such as this..

Oooh I will be getting one of these very soon. Is it worth it to wait until my stock 10 bolt gives out? Are there any consequences other then needing a tow?

The wait... order it now. What I did was I ordered it and you only have to put a deposit on it. As its being built you can pay the rest off they are a great company.

Are the rear shock relocation brackets different lengths for QA1 vs AFCO shocks?
