Spohn TA---Advantages to... The chrome-moly spherical rod ends for the front mount???
Over the ployurethane bushings??
Also, front or rear loop??? I was thinking front.
Looking to order my torque arm tonight, so quick help is very welcome.
Thanks!!!

This is just a general observation, but spherical rod ends give you more freedom of movement and move more freely (it doesn't sound right, but it makes sense in my head 
). They also bring along with them rattling and clanking noises (nature of the beast...it is a solid connection with no give). Poly is fairly stiff and limits freedom of movement to an extent, but can help reduce the noise.
So how much noise are you willing to live with? A lot? Get the spherical (it won't be terrible, but your car will start sounding cheaper and cheaper by the day IMO). Don't want the noise? Get the poly, keeping in mind that poly can (and usually does) squeak.

Well, the car isn't a daily driver, but also doesn't see all but 10% track duty. Weekend warrior.
But, I plan on making close to 500 RWHP soon, and want the stock torque arm off my transmission. I can deal with some noise, but would rather not, obviously.
Anyone other than Spohn have a torque arm that mounts off the transmission, and stays fairly quiet?

I noticed BMR has a torque arm relocation kit as well. But it is designed for BMR's torque arm only. In order to use someone elses, you need their bushings.
Ant idea if the Yank is the same way??

All of the different torque arm builders use their own bushing for their own specific torque arm(except for edelbrock it can be used with stock bushing)all of these bushing all fit into the stock clam shell on the car.This being said the BMR torque arm bushing is no exception,so if their bushing fits into the relocation crossmember i'm sure whatever bushing you have will also....my.02

I think you can only get the Yank piece through Yank themselves...not sure if they have distributors for that.
Both the BMR and the Yank piece will work with any aftermarket full length torque arm except the LG G2. You'll just have to trust me on that one
