Post Do I need a Torque Arm???

I have the following for suspension mods, Wield On SFC's, PanHard bar, AAM Rear Cover. Will a Torque Arm help with the handling?

Thanks,
Bill

Do you have wheel hop when accelerating or braking?

Then you don't need one. I sugest a set of Koni single adjustable shocks as your next mod. You will get a surprising handling improvement out of this.

No kidding, that has to be one of my best spent $$$ mods I have.
I trully love the SA Koni's. They were expensive, but worth it.

Can someone tell me what the difference is between the shocks? Why is this a good mod? I will be up grading my suspension soon.
