I also heard that with a chassis mount TA, SFC's are nearly a requisite due to extra stress on the body. Anyone know anything bout that?

SFCs are required if you've done nothing else....

I like the way that the shorter torque arm works. You can be more aggressive with the throttle and it makes the car trail brake at entry much much better. I have heard people talk about getting on throttle understeer with the shorter version, but I have never seen it discussed as something that an adjustment in driving couldn't solve. Basically throttle control solves all

the problem with the short arm has a lot to do with brake hop, the short arm increases antisquat that dends to increase brake hop. on the throttle the short arm will cause mid turn push plus the chassis mount holes have a habit to crack the floor pan(not design to handle the forces in braking) I dont think any body on frrax would tell you a short chassis mount t/a was a good ideal.in a autox/rr application only short arm T/a i would use is the unbalanced decoupled and the main benifit of that arm is the decoupling when braking (turns the short arm into a longer than stock arm)
