Re: Hawks New Build 1989 Firebird Formula LS1/Maggie
What cross member is that? And does it use a transmission mounted torque arm, or?

The reason I ask is because I have the Spohn cross member with their cross member mounted torque arm and I cannot get the torque arm to sit flush with the frame rail. The fitment sucks. I'm just trying to see what some other options are...any input would be great.

That crossmember is the new one we offer for maximum ground clearance, you have to make a custom y-pipe but that x-member is perfect for clearance... the kicker is it only works with trans mounted torque arms and body mounted torque arms (i.e. bmr trak pak works great!)
