I keep hearing mixed options here.

My car sees some track time, no road racing. I'm not making THAT much power.

Can I get away with a trans mounted arm? The performance shop I go through told me not to even waste my money. The problem is I'm lowered and the xmember mounted ones seem to hand down to low.

Opinions? Thanks!

well you can get a trans mount unit from sphon or umi or whoever and get the trans crossmember mount for the TA...replaces the whole trans crossmember and it does not really hang any lower then stock...thats the best idea for you

i dont like the TA mounted on the trans...way to much stress on the trans and the trans mount

thats what i would have done if i had to do it again... the chasis mounted TA hangs WAY to low and scrapes everything.... especially w/ sportlines

I have not dealt with those brands, but I have a bmr on my ta with hotchkiss springs, and it is significantly lower than stock. No speed bump is safe from my wrath. I am gauranteed to hit every one of them. I have left my mark on every incline I have driven on since the install.

For strength and safety, the Spohn subframe mounted TA is awesome......downside is that is hangs lower than a 90 year old man's nuts that wore boxer shorts his whole life!!!

I had the spohn piece your talking about before I put the bmr piece on, the bmr is even lower than that. dig up on e of my older threads where I posted pics of my spohn piece after a couple years of use. I te definately saw it's share of carnage. strangley enought though, it kind of gave me piece of mind knowing that those bars took a hit before anything else on my car did. It got shaved flat on the bottom, but it never bent. It was a good piece, I just got sick of the clunking on my daily driver.

What we are seeing, is vehicles running 10.50's and quicker in the 1/4 are usually prone to tail shaft failure. Not always but this is most likely when it will happen. A manual car is much more rough on the tail shaft then a auto as well. A manual car will usually see 5-6K lauches and much more drive line abuse then a automatic.

Based on your driving Tony a stock style mounted torque arm will be 100% fine. If you see yourself racing more and building more power in the future you can then always upgrade to our relocation kit. However right now you would be fine.

Torque arm I would recommend-
