Just a quick question for you guys that are running the torque arm.

What lower control arms are you running and did you go from the stock quadralink system to the torque arm right away or did you go in steps like LCA, then Panhard bar, etc.

My brother just picked up a set of Extreme duty RLCA from MM and we are debating buying the panhard bar to go with them. Don't have the funds to make the jump all in one step.

He won't be auto x'ing or road coursing with the car just the odd trip to the 1320 and lots of driving it on the street and playing around so maybe the full Torque arm deal isn't needed.

Edit: Sorry I should have added that I have searched and found quite a few responses on this site about how the Panhard bar with new lower control arms and stock upper arms will cause a lot of bind. Is this true only when pushing the car hard or is this a really bad thing for a street car?
