THRASHER TORQUE ARMS?
has anyone used or heard of the thrasher engineering torque arms. im looking into getting them , but want to see if anyone has heard good or bad on them.
they claim the stop torque steer by stiffening the lower control arm to stop bushing flex.

The best way to get rid of torque steer on FWD cars is an LSD. The torque arms may help, but I don't know of anybody running them. I have not heard anything about them, except for what the description on their site says. Our GTP has virtually no torque steer since we installed the LSD. If I were in your position I would get a LSD, because not only will it help eliminate torque steer, but it will make your car quicker also.

There is alot more to it than that. lol actually the 4t60-e limited slip can be had and the unit costs 580.00 add shipping and call it 600.00. It would be a custom deal so he would (to do it properly) have to make a new pinion gear, or at least harden it.
The stock pinion can be broken by a 3.4 let alone a 3.8.
I have nothing against intense but my opinion is the 4t65-e limited slip they use does not lend itself to the 4t60-e as well as the C-ya racing unit. Oh the C-ya racing system is actually $500.00. There are other options but they are not out of the bag yet.
That said the cheapest deal would be to get torque bars made for your car.

The Thrasher arms won't fit an H body. They do work, though. If you have a welder and a Farm implement supply near you, you can probably fab them up for less than 50 bucks and 3 hours. That'* my plan. I already picked the parts.
