I wonder about the trade offs in braking with the torque arm in our
application?
Seems that using the right leaf spring design could save weight, time and
$$, if preventing axle wind up is the primary objective. But, my direct
Tiger experience is limited to stock leafs w/an extra primary and bolt-on
Traction Masters...very old school. My experience with torque arms is limited
to
autocross laps in Tigers so fitted and my impression was good forward
bite, pretty poor braking, particularly in trail.
This is a great topic, however, as I am contemplating changes in the rear
suspension, prior to finishing my car!

I'll also chime in as a happy customer. It's straightforward to install,

for me at least there was a vast improvement both in drivability and ride
comfort compared to the weld-on Traction Masters that were there before. As
Stephen said, you can do better - but you'll need to spend at least 10
times
the money.
