non adjustable tq arm
non adjustable tq arm hey guys i was planing on purchasing a tq arm. my question was does a non adjustable tq arm make much difference over stock or do you only benefit from the adjustable ones? my goal is a fast street car. probably wont replace rearend. maybe build it...with 4:10's and a M6 i dont want anything too much that'll break the rear, but something better then stock! so please let me know if you think a regular tq arm will help, and what effects an aftermarket arm help with?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Hello, the stock torque arm is made from stamped steel. Our non adjustable or adjustable torque arms arm made from 1.25" x .120" dom steel tubing. Strength wise there is no comparison between a stock arm and an aftermarket one. The purpose of the adjustable arm is to be able to adjust your pinion angle. It has no added strength over a non adjustable arm. If you lower your car you will need the adjustable version to reset you angle. If you have any questions please give me a call. Our tech dept is open mon-fri 8:30 am-6:00 pm est.
I would go ahead and get the adjustable arm. Your pinion angle is more than likely off and if you decide to ever go with a different spring in the rear you are going to need the adjustable arm. No sense in buying it twice.

food for thoughts....... Hello,
There is a aftermarket Torque arm that is not adjustable which is part #2206. And there is also a adjustable torque arm part #2205 that will probrobly be what I would recommend you just for future reference if you are planing on building the rear. The adjustable torque arm will cut down on wheel hop when on the throttle and cut down your 60ft times. Below I have a link to show the torque arms and you can see the difference from your stock and modified.

while the ta will do a lot. BMR is wrong when they say you need it when you lower your car. thats flat out wrong. the only thing you NEED when you lower your car is an adjustable PHB to center the rear end

M6=death of a 10 boltGet an adjustable torque arm, most people will agree on why buy aftermarket suspension if it isnt adjustable, little bit more money and your set for future mods
I see where you are coming from and I hope my explanation helps

Actually they are correct... you don't NEED the adjustable torque arm at all. But the torque controls the pinion angle, the pinion angle changes when you lower the vehicle. The adjustable torque arm will then allow you to readjust the pinion angle once the vehicle has been lowered. So yes you are correct, you do not need the adj. torque arm... but from a performance stand point it is recommend to achieve the best performance from the vehicle. So you are both correct.. based on the customers goals I would recommend the adjustable as well.

Your pinion angle does change when you lower a vehicle. You can't change your pinion angle without an adjustable arm. You can buy a torque arm relocation crossmember and use a non adjustable torque arm and adjust the front and change your pinion angle that way but thats not the correct way to do it. Thanks for your opinion.
