One thing that you might want to consider is the instant center. On a torque arm car the IC is directly below the front mount of the torque arm. That is, if your rear lower control arms are not pointed at a radical angle. They should be pretty much in line with your sub-frame connectors. Pointing your lower control arms at the center of the torque arm moves the IC to that point. It will give the feel that you are hitting the tires hard, but you are actually putting the rear suspension in a bind. Another thing to note is that torque arm cars do not like to squat.
