Default Need torque arm?

How much of a difference will I notice by adding a torque arm? I have all aftermarket PHB, LCA, STB, Strano springs w/kybs, and sfc's. Am i retarded for not having added a torque arm yet or will i not notice much of a difference? I'm thinking of switching to koni's before the torque arm. your thoughts?

Hello,

The Koni shocks will be a much more noticeable different than a torque arm. The torque arm will however help in both the traction area and handling. The factory arm is made from a stamped steel and has the ability to flex, our torque arm is made from tubular steel and will not flex like the factory torque arm.

Get the shocks first and torque arm second

For a handling vehicle here is the torque arm I recommend- www.umiperformance.com/2205

Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

You will notice a big difference with a torque arm. Like Ryan said, both my traction and the handling of the car (when really getting on it) handles much nicer.
