I went to this Swedish Car Day near Boston yesterday, and there was a fellow who goes by Yama on TurboBricks, and he had bought a set of these adjustable torque rods from IPD. I guess they are on backorder now, but he got some of the first parts. They look awesome. They are quite a bit heavier than the stock parts, and the bushings feel firmer than IPD's usual blue poly torque rod bushings.

Most people running higher torque say that the original torque arms fail eventually, often the ends that contain the bushings will elongate. John Lane, with a rally Bertone making over 500 lb-ft of torque broke several, and then said that IPD made him a special set that do not break. Those arms were made a few years ago, and were probably a one-off or prototype, but I would bet that IPD's new torque rods have similar strength.

They are on my must-have list.
