      Torque arm suspension opinions ?

      I have been tossing the idea of a torque arm suspension on my el camino . I was looking at using a 8.8 rear end out of a crown vic and maximum motorsports torque arm for 95 mustang . I am going to narrow rear frame rails for 335/30/19 wheels . I am thinking coilovers from speedway motors . They are very affordable and for circle track use also probably use a watts link . I have the 12 bolt rear end that came in the car but do not want to cut it up . The explorer rear end is also a possibility . Any ideas or advice welcomed . I do not like the factory 4 link .
      I have owned 3rd gen camaros and a bunch of mustangs .

      The camaro handled well after i built lower adjustable control arms and panhard bar .

      Well, I can't say a whole lot about it, but I do like my setup alot better than the leaf springs. There are some pics in my fquick page.

      You could do a 3-link setup. I did that on my 67 El Camino using a bolt on bracket I made for the rear axle. I have picts of the bracket and how I attached the link to the crossmember as well. If you use a bolt on panhard bracket, then you could use your 12-bolt without modifying it. Email or PM me if you want to see the pictures.

      THAT WOULD BE AN EASY DEAL with ours, (Speedtech Perfromance)use our A body lower trailing arms, and a stock 12 bolt. modify the front X member to fit the car and same with the rear and it is a complete set up.
