What are you F-body guys who are primarily streetcars and some autoX using for torque arms? Right now I'm stock. I have been bent on the idea of a global west trac link after the SOTP feel in a friend's car. But now I'm thinking a simple full length adjustable like the UMI 2205 should do the job without feeling too noticeable and noisy. What's your opinion?

We have a Spohn on our 95 Z28, and the thing rattles like mad even though everything's tight under there. We have what I thought was another Spohn on our CP car, but I'm not certain. The torque arm has a rod that sticks out the front end of it that goes through a rod end bolted to the crossmember. Everything that moves up there is covered by a dust cover, and the front end of the TA is free to rotate and move forward and backward. Nice and simple, and we hear no noise from it at all. Granted, the car has a louder exhaust, and rod-ended everything, but I hear no rattles that I can attribute to the T/A. I tried some searches, but cannot find anything like it online. I got it from a friend who was moving to a 3-link on his Firebird, and he has had it for ever, so I have no clue where the thing came from, although Spohn is a suspect.
