BSH lower torque arm

Hey guys, does anyone run the BSH lower engine arm? Even though they are called "lower engine mounts", I'm guessing that it's a replacement for the engine torque arm. If I'm looking for a more aggressive mod than the NM torque arm insert, should I go for the BSH arm?

TIA

I was told from Way at WMW that it is a good part to have if you want more aggressive then the NM insert. He also mentioned something about having it if you have more power then stock becuase it will help keep the wheels planted better. I say go for it.

We can compare thoughts. I'm trying to get Aaron from outmotoring to order me the race bushing, but he says they've been discontinued due to customer complaints, so he's going to have a root around.

I had the street version on my '07 and didn't care for it. IMO, it transmitted far too much vibration into the cabin and thru the steering wheel. Sold it and went with the NM unit instead.

Vibration into the cabin isn't much of an issue for me, as I already have a pretty uncomfortable car.

Thanks for your input however. It is helpful

I know this is an old thread, but did you ever get the race torque arm after? I found one for sale, and I'm trying to decide between it and the street version.. Thanks!

I hate to do this but I have a BSH Engine Mount for sale in the Classifieds section of this forum. It is pretty much brand new! Only $99!
