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?

You just have to see it let an F body out-brake everything else and you'd be convinced. I am still exploring the deep, deep ends of the fastest straights, but only the very best factory roadracers can stay with me. Worth every nickle.

Pics would be great, that's where I'm leaning if it's the best of both worlds. |

For simplicity's sake I run the UMI adjustable "standard replacement" style. Impeccable street manners, with improved launching and braking. But somehow I get the idea I'm not as serious about racing as you guys (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Are you running a relocation bracket? I'm lowered 1.5" and am concerned about ground clearance issues. Unless I came across a good deal on a global west or UE arm, I can't justify spending that much. |

Thats the fallacy here. A standard one piece aftermarket torque arm does NOTHING for you. it won't allow you to brake later or launch harder than you can with a stock arm. Unless you have so much power and traction that you're bending the stock torque arm(highly unlikely) then bolting on a tubular one is doing nothing but lightening your wallet. |
