The first thing I noticed when I put my BMR Torque arm on my car about 8 years ago is that the car would hook when shifting hard and fast to second vs. just blowing the tires loose. And my car is just a "bolt on" car.

I felt the addition of a rod end PHR really made the rear feel more predictable in hard corners because the factory PHR was too compliant.

Thirdly, I switched from a 19 to a 21mm solid bar and the car would rotate much nicer.

slight spin on most surfaces on street tires. Dead hook with the Hoosier A6's on a clean course.

Well that more of a function of how hard and often you beat on it and how much power you make.

I felt a difference. I swear I could feel some flex on takeoff that the torque arm eliminated. It just takes off more positively. Kind of hard to describe.

Hello
I noticed that you were thinking about getting a torque arm! You will feel a difference due to the fact of being able to adjust your pinion angle. And I just wanted to throw this out there for you that we offer two different versions we offer a tunnel mounted torque arm and a stock length (we also have the relocation for the stock length torque arms) they both are adjustable and the quality and performance you will not be disappointed. Below is a few link to show you what we have to offer!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks
Brad

The upgraded torque arm is going to make the car overall more predictable and stable at the track and on the street.

It sure has! Like I said, it's been on the car for about 8 years and I inspect it, as well as all my other suspension parts, every winter during my annual tear down and I've never found any issue, other than a little rust.
