torque arm
I ran a Spohn cross-member mounted, adjustable torque arm for a long time. Aftermarket torque arms are more rigid than stock and having an adjustable feature is good for lowered cars to correct the altered driveline geometry.
Thanks for the response, Currently running the stock torque arm mounted to trans cross member with all other suspension components upgraded. In the market for a TA and didn't know which is best.

My limited use is the car likes to put power down better. I also went to UMI rod end rear LCA's at the same time, but I get more rear end vibration etc into the cabin. The cross brace is tied right under the seats in the floor board so the drivetrain vibration is transferred to you easier.
For me it was more of a "this is a cool design and engineering wise seems like best of both worlds so lets try it". Obviously people have done very well without this style and a simple long TA works for them. I had the money, one was for sale, I like the idea so here we are.

I haven't driven an F-body in anger with any other type of TA in at least a decade, and I don't know what they feel like any more for a comparison. My setup is far from stock and even then somewhat rare between the DCTA and the shocks so I can't necessarily say any specific behavior is directly attributable to the TA. I've made a lot of changes in the past 6 months, but when I put on the new Rival S tires, I had all the dry traction I could ask for. Throwing pebbles against the wheel well two months later (so far), barely any tire spin in 1st gear at WOT... I'm very impressed with how the recent changes have helped the cars attitude. In general, I think the DCTA works better with suspension bushings that offer less compliance (heim > roto > rubber > poly) and stiffer spring rates, which in turn needs properly valved dampers.
