That torque arm is at least two feet long.

I forgot abotu the front wheel specs. I'll ask Todd to pull a wheel and take some measurements.
Well generally I thought you wanted it long.. for example one in a newer Camaro goes way forward to the trans.

Something Katz said about a short bar (relative to the length of the car) having a low anti-squat value.. Anyway, I'm no suspension expert.. was just curious. looks strong as hell..

Here is the one from my old 2000 Camaro:

Anyways, I am really diging what they are doing with Jim's car.. gonna be one nice ride!
