Adjustable. Setting them up is not hard and the adjustment is there if you ever need it.

Heres our pinion angle video

If you buy one of our adjustable torque arms it comes with an angle finder.

The control arms pretty much adjust the axle in the center of the wheel wells so its just a simple measurement of the axle to make sure its centered.

Just measure the distance of the stocker, hole to hole, then adjust the BMRs to the same legnth.

Cause they will deflect less. Why do you want aftermarket ones in the 1st place? I'm just telling you what to do with the adjustable ones if you don't necesarily need any adjustment in them now, since you asked.

To adjust the lcas, measure the distance from the center of the wheel to the edge of the wheel well on the rear wheels. The adjust the lcas to center the tire in the wheel well.

Adjusting the tq arm is easy too. Bmr has a great video on their site that shows you how to do it.

The only reason to adjust them is to center the wheels in the wheel well. Wheel hop is another issue. Try relocation brackets, in which case you may need the adjustable ones.

sorry for highjacking but is the bushing that comes with it one piece? byunspeed has your adjustable torque arms on sale for $230 and i was thinking of getting one, especially since it comes with the angle finder. i just bought a used umi relocation bracket for $100 and it says i need a one piece bushing.

I don't claim to know everything about wheelhop but I don't think changing the torque arm is gonna help with that. I know LCA relocation brackets is where you wanna start. Do a search on "wheelhop", should turn up lots of results.
