Default torque arm ?

I have a '00 TA that is lowered w/Hotchkis springs. I was wondering how much lower an aftermarket torque arm will sit? Will I have a prob. with scraping it? Which brands are more lower profile than others? TIA!!!

Do you want 1 that is catered towards auto-x or strip? Or just your general upgrade?

I just want a general upgrade for the street!! One that I won't be hitting on everything. Also, do I need an adjustable one since my car is lowered? TIA!!!

I had real good luck with my Random Tech Arm. I believe that Colonel runs the same still. Edelbrock seems to come up as a good arm for the money also.

My friend has the Spohn and he likes it for that very reason you mentioned. It isn't attached to his tranny tail housing any longer. He said that it's adjustable enough for him. He also mentioned that if not careful, YES it will scrape. You do have to be aware of it on driveways and such.
