Torque Arm VS. Ladder Bars

For the past few days, ive been trying to decided what will be more worth my time and money, a sphon torque arm or the other option is to get sub frame connectors (which i was going to do either way) then make a cross member, and get some heavy duty ladder bars. well i was wondering what is going to work better, and what would be the cheapest route. the chromo sphon torque arm is pricey. i was thinking since i was already going to make subframe ties, it might be cheaper to make a cross member and then buy the ladder bars. not really sure id like some opinions....sphon torque arm, or ladder bars........????

ps. im hoping this summer to land my car deep into the 12s, keeping fingers crossed for low12's, maybe high 11's, N/A

Stick with the torque arm. With laddar bars you have to chop up the floor and box them arround the laddar bar for it to swing freely. I've seen someone on here do it. Not bad if you are going to make a mostly track car out of it.
