Torque arm relocation kit?

Torque arm relocation kit?
Looking at getting a UMI torque arm relocation kit. I am wondering if it makes a difference if the mount for the torque arm is where the tunnel brace is (like on most aftermarket arms) or if its near the stock location? Will it make a difference in performance? I know its a good thing to get the arm off the tailshaft of the transmission, I am just curious as if the different mounting points make a difference.
Thanks,
Jeff

I love mine! I haven't rigorously analyzed all the moments, I think I read that the shorter arm was better for braking, and a longer arms (maybe sort of like old-school ladder bars?) were better for weight transfer and accell....
I do know that it makes the torque loadings on the back axle more solidly transfered to the chassis, gets the load off the rubbery transmission mount- and it is a lot more robust piece, no flimsy sheet metal-
My car never seemed to have a problem with wheel hop, but then, I never lowered it, either, so I can't say that it helped, there. Certainly didn't hurt it, either- Highly recommended!
