torque arm lenght... instant center ?
I am about to buy a tq arm. Is it better to move the IC back or do I want to get a long tq arm and keep it as for forwad as possible. Tanks for the help.

For draging short is better.
For braking long is better.

cool, thanks guys. No way am I shelling out that much $$$ for a tq arm though. I am just concerned about the antisquat so I will be buying a short arm. Once again, thanks for the help.

Yes shorter is better for drag, it improves weight transfer. Check out UMI, they just came out with a few that look sharp.
