thats why i'm saying there had to be some whacked out geometry going on in there not at the fault of BMR's product! a suspension system that is improperly installed and not to spec is going to wreak major havoc on all parts of the rear suspension tires/lca's/panhard/tq arm/pinion everything!
when it binds up and has nowhere to go, something is going to give and in this case it was the tq arm at its weakest most stressed point
and as far as i know, everything dealing with his rear suspension (cept panhard rod maybe) was adjustable.
maybe he fuxored up the geometry by over extending the adjustable rod ended lca's when trying to clearance his 28" tire he has/had on there, that would force the tq arm to be moved back farther off the crossbrace and then there was an over correction or something made in the pinion angle (shrugs, my theory anyway)
he broke it on the street, not at the track so his ET and 60' times dont come into play here
