Simple, FULL LENGTH, adjustable or non adjustable torque arm. And the Torque Arm Relocation bracket to move the mounting point off the transmission tail shaft. There.. thats all you need.

It changes the postion of the IC of the car.
The IC of a torque arm suspension is located at the intersection of a vertical line through the torque arm contact point and another line through the pivot points of the lower links. So, as Ed pointed out, if you lower the rear pivots for the lower links (or, for that matter, raise the front pivots), the IC will move up. This means more anti-squat, or, as Ed put it, a harder hit on launch.
