What kinda torque arm are you looking for? Tunnel mount? Tranny mount? When I had my duals fabbed, I had them fabbed so I could use either. You are obviously more limited. Seeing as how you have Koni SAs, I'm guessing you don't live at the drag strip (I certainly don't). For that reason, I went with the G2 torque arm, but it is $$$. I haven't received it yet, but it fits within the same dimensions as the stocker, and is supposed to be stronger. We shall see...

Well, i dont have any problems with clearance with the stocker, so if the G2 is the same size, it will work, lemme know how it works for you... And no i definitely dont live at the drag strip, but i enjoy straight line racing almost as much as running through the twisties...

Same here...UPS tried to deliver it yesterday while I was gone, so I should have it today, and hoping to have it in by Friday. I'll let you know how it goes. If I forget, just send me a PM and I'll let you know that way

Depends on what kinda duals you have and what kinda subframes you are looking at...any non-DD style subframe connector (as in NOT SLP or the Kenny Browns) should work without issue. My duals were custom made, so they fit with my SLPs without issue.
