Best Torque Arm for AutoX and RR? I am looking at Sophn's. Do the floor mounted torque arms have a problem at the road course. I know they are working great for drag racers. Thanks for the help.

I would be leery of a short arm for road racing.
The short arm makes the torque reaction more
extreme and if it's set up for extreme plant on
acceleration it'll be biased toward braking lift
and brake hop is bad. An infinitely long arm
would be neutral. It's not that they are floor
mounted, but that many of the floor mounted are
short.
BMR and Yank make crossbraces that relocate
a stock length torque arm off the tailshaft. If
you went this way you would be out more money
but have more options (I got a used Yank and a
used Random Tech TA, I think I have $300 or
or less into the pair).
