Default New rear suspension this winter, need advice.

Well after some research it looks like im gonna ditch the 4 link setup and go with MM XD lower control arms, MM panhard bar and the MM torque arm. Just a few questions, which torque arm would be suitable for a street/strip car. The standard, racing standard, or heavy duty. Also will this setup hold well to strip drops with a MT et street? Also what rear shock would compliment this setup nicely? Also are subframe connectors a must with this setup?

SFC's are a must REGUARDLESS of what other mods you do/don't get

My general thinking is to go heavy duty on ALL things suspension. You are moving some good HP and want your tires to apply it to the road, so go high-strength and avoid broken parts. I would contact MM and discuss the tires you are running and what your needs will be in terms of launch-pad.

What happens in terms of pinion angle with the torque arm setup as well, its non adjustable I assume correct?

Pinion angle is perfect

The TA aligns the pumpkin straight into the end of the trans, so is set accurately as soon as it is bolted up.
