**Moved to Chassis & Suspension**

For a 4th gen I would personally go with a UMI Chassis Mount adjustable CM arm. Seen a switch from a BMR trans mount adjustable CM arm to the UMI chassis mount make a huge difference.

The UMI design is very nice since they use a double poly bushed hinge joint where some other torque arms transfer a little more noise since they are a steel sleeve/poly combo hinge joint..

id go spohn, because if you decide to change transmission style you can just buy the trans swap x-member later for the style you are running. there are plenty of 8 sec cars running spohns stuff, look at radialtireking's car he is DEEP 8's almost 7's on spohns equipment.
