I wanted to know if it really necessary to get a torque arm relocation kit when replacing the factory torque arm.I dont drag race and never beat on it with hard launches.So I am just wondering if replacing the factory torque arm will be fine without the kit.
One last thing.On a lowered car is it necessary to get the adjustable one or will the non-adjustable thats set at -2 degrees be ok.

Stock TA's are weak, many more of those fail than do TA mounts on the transmission. I'd have to say TA first, TA bracket at the same time or later...
And I'd definitely do an adjustable TA. -2 angle is fixed and based on a stock height car. If you have any sort of pinion angle vibration issues you can't do anything about it on a fixed angle TA... you can with an adjustable.

The TA relocation kit isn't necessary, but the kit removes any stress on the trans tail, it's quiet, and the front TA mount is then mounted to a stronger and stationary mount assembly,which I found make a noticeable difference when launching (street or track).
IMO, I noticed a bigger difference with the relocation mount change then I did with changing the TA.
I would have to agree with InsaneAuto86 that the relocation kit, poly mount, and stock TA would offer you the most benefit right now.

Thanks for recommending UMI Performance! We do offer many styles depending on what transmission you are running. I always considered the relocation cross member like extra insurance rather than braking the mounting bracket off of the tail shaft. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!

What kind of tires do you have? If your on cheap street tires, would an aftermarket arm even do anything noticeable?

Yes our Tunnel Mounted Torque Arms will work just fine with the SLP 3 point SFC's. If you have any other questions feel free to ask and I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks

Thanks, I already pulled the trigger and bought one when the sale was on. If it didn't fit I was just going to do different SFC's, but you're saying it will work, and that makes it better.
