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?

I've got a Hotchkis full length TA that I really like but I need to sell it due to the CMC rules not allowing them.

And it's red, that makes it work even better (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I would go with a UE TQ Arm... Best of both worlds - better grip under accel, no braking issues because it decouples

UE is awesome...but just for argument sake does anyone know how the Global West decoupled arm performs in comparison. Both are decoupled arms, the UE looks to be a much higher quality (beefier piece) but the GW unit is about 1/2 the price...Anyone have experience with GW? Again, I totally support UE, just asking for input.
