    I have TA No Hop bars and Metco adjustable upper arms. I use them to adjust my pinion angle.

    I also have their billet lower arms. Very nice pieces.

    No, but if your pinion angle is out (have you ever checked it?), that can cause some bind in the drive train, and eat up some power and/or cause wear issues.

    i dont have any driving issues.
    years ago i checked it and was in spec.
    i did changed the trans mount not too long ago.

    Humm. wonder how much you could adjust using the trans mount to make the changes.

    So you want to fix something that isn't broken?

    only if i have free time.

    my local track is not very sticky on test n tune night.
    last thursday when i launched the car turned 90* in 15 feet.
    i had to back away from the wall, i'd like to hook at that track on test n tune days

    I'd be looking elsewhere. Adjustable arms aren't going to help you unless what you have is flexing. Hotchkis should be reasonably sturdy.
