Default Does an aftermarket Torque Arm make a difference in a street only dd car?

Is it a big difference in handling/traction on the street? These things aren't exactly cheap.

Also is there any benefit to replcaing the bushing in the stock torque arm with a polyurethane one? Would this give the same effect on the street?

The simple answer would be yes, it would help, although I would do lca's and phr before I get a new torque arm, I think its cheaper as well.

The stock control arms arent as bad as everyone plays the out to be. That being said I would go for the TQ arm and the PHR if your strapped for cash.

+1 they're shorter and the same width and material and design as the PHR so i would look to the PHR before the LCA's, torque arms are always good tho
