hard to go wrong with BMR, i've had good luck with them.

if its a straight drag car..relocation brackets work wonders...even at stock spring height.

but the torque arm will help...i would suggest putting a TA relocation bracket on it as well. get the pressure off the trans tailshaft (if the glide even has that).

might want to look into SFC to keep the frame straight...although you may have a cage to take care of that.

disconnect the sway bars...or run a drag rear sway bar...which BMR sells too.
