Just for grins, what does the stock torque arm have built in for pinion angle? I've never measured it...

 

Great question!!! Any answers? ttt

 

Yes I would also like to know since this TQ arm is on sale.
I don't see how the LG trq arm can be perfect for stock ride height cars to 1.5-3" lowered cars and keep the absolute best pinion angle?

I'd like to get this trq arm since it drops 5lbs and will help with traction, but I'm stock ride height now and plan to be lowered 1.5" soon. I just want to make sure the pinion angle will be well within spec for a daily driver to cover both ride heights.

 

I'm in need of a tq arm as well and I am lowered with pro kit... How does lg compare with BMR non adj.?

Here is my TA with the LG lowering springs (1.5" drop). It has 80K miles on it, with the stock rear end. I've been running an LG torque arm for over 2 years.

I don't know what other testiment you want ...

 

Alright Mitch, I'll order it.

I figured since I plan to have an adjustable everything, LCA, PHR, GC coilovers, Koni SA's, might as well get an adjustable TA too

 

The whole point is that the LG TA is not adjustable. If you are wanting adjustable, you'll have to look elsewhere.

 

True, Matt ...

I went back and looked over the thread quickly to see where you got the idea the LG Arm is adjustable. And I don't see it ...

To be 100% clear ...

The LG arm is NOT adjustable ... it is a fixed arm.

 

how does this torque arm do with a strange 12-bolt as far as bolting up without problems and no bolts backing out...?

 

The bolts don't back out with a Strange b/c they use the same through bolts as the stock TQ arm.

The bolts that back out are the (4) short bolts that must be used on the MOSER housing. You can prevent this by safety wiring the (4) bolts.

 

Oh I understand that, and that's why I made the statement.
I don't see the benefit of a $500/$400 on sale TA that isn't adjustable over a less expensive adjustable TA? Especially when I plan on having all my other suspension components adjustable.

 

Did you read your comment? It says ok, I'll order one. And it is not adjustable. Yet you say you want adjustable. I'm just making sure you aren't ordering something you don't want.

 

Yes, I was being sarcastic.
I just don't see how the LG trq arm is worth anywhere close to what it costs in comparison to the other fixed or adjustable trq arms.

 

safety wiring, what do you mean?? mine back out all the time was thinking about putting some lock tight on them

 

Well the safety wire is great for when the bolts do fall out you don't loose them and they can be reused when you install your new torque arm...

 

May I ask why you're so hung up on adjustability?

 

Spohn part# 405.

 

Not sure you're understanding the concept. The idea is to attach the wire from the bolt head or a special washer capturing the bolt head to a solid point on the axle (in this case). This is intended to prevent the bolt from turning and coming loose in addition to providing a quick inspection method.

Maybe this will clarify: http://www.sportrider.com/tech/146_0002_hand/

As Levi noted above, this is mainly a concern with the Moser's less than ideal 4-bolt attachment. Both the Strange and the factory axle housings use a pair of thru-bolts instead.

 

opps yep I was assuming something different,o well

 

Adjustable torque arm's are a way to invite more suspension/tractions problems. IMHO, an adjustable T/A is not needed for 90% of the cars.

Adjustability = more things you can screw up.

Unless you plan to take your car to a chassis tuner (i.e. MADMAN, etc), an adjustable torque arm is inviting traction problems.

I run a Random Tech arm that is setup exactly like the stock TA. I would be running an LG, but it didn't work with my cross-member setup.
