i'm going to assume you're talking about a stock-length torque arm? if so, the brand of the relocation bracket shouldn't matter, as long as you can get a bushing that fits the end of the arm, and the bracket will fit the bushing.

yes. but only if you're not lowered. if you plan on lowering the car, you should get an adjustable torque arm.

Which brands you looking at? I've got the the one from UMI it's really nice. I used my stock torque arm for a while before I got my adj. T.A. So if your using a stock style T.A. it should be no problem.If you decide to get the UMI T.A./Trans mount make sure you mount the clamshell and poly bushing to the upright mount,lube the bushing,then slide it on to the T.A.,then lift and mount it to the chassis. Otherwise it's going to be a real pain mounting the clamshell to the upright mount after the T.A./Trans mount is bolted up to the car. I know I tried !

I'm assuming also that you have the stock TA still. Why do you want to get the re-location bracket on a stock TA?

meh, why not? it may not be totally necessary now, but it certainly won't hurt anything....and he won't have to worry about it later on when he's making more power.
