Custom Torque Arm Hi
Found a guy that builds pro gas cars and I am thinking at having a custom torque arm built. He does realy nice work. He wants to build somthing like a BMR Tracpack with the tubular brace (and hinge) running across the width of the car. Only much stronger.
He wants to put the brace quite far back and build a very short and steep arm. I know this will be stonger and provide good traction, but are there any disadvantages to having a short and steep arm in terms of handling or routine driving?
I notice the BMR Tracpack locates the brace right where the tunel mount locations are. I assume this is done for convenience, as there are mounts already in place and less welding is needed.
Any input is appreciated, as I realy do not want to end up with a car that is not streetable. Thanks
