Default what should i use

i was debating on this kit
http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/ca...arm-1-2-1.aspx

but was wondering what i should use for a transmission crossmember?i don't really want to keep the stock one.


next choice was this with an aftermarket torque arm

i have pacesetter longtubes tsp y pipe and tsp rumbler cat back.and i use my car mostly for street use,roll racing and a little track time.

i want something that is good for my exhaust clearance and what i use the car for.

thanks for any input

Hello
Thanks for considering UMI Performance! Both are excellent products but it just depends on how you drive the vehicle. If the vehicle is more a DD and weekend warrior. I would suggest going with a full length adjustable torque arm to maintain a great ride quality. But if the vehicle sees the track a lot and or has a lot of HP I would suggest going with the tunnel mounted arm. They are manufacture to transfer weight a lot faster. But you might hear a clunk to the weight transferring (due to the cross member being mounted right under the front seats). If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad
