Adjustable Torque Arm's have VER little to do with braking, rather how your rear is planted during hard acceleration (wheel hop is mostly because of improper LCA height). UNLESS you have smething like a tracklink which is a 3 point arm which kinda actually acts like a SFC
Torque arm and LCA angles affect both acceleration and
deceleration torque reactions' force on the rear axle. If
either one causes a strong axle lift then you will hop.
What is ideal for launch steals from braking in a single
torque arm 3-link system.
Since the adjustable arm is only needed in an altered
geometry suspension, I wonder if the brake hop is
more from the other alterations than the simple fact
of adjustability and the TA is just there for the same
reasons?
