T56 cross member question
I bought a t56 and the spohn torque arm/cross member setup off someone and now i bought a different camaro. Its a 91 with a moser 9" rearend, tubular control arms, sub-frame connectors, and a 6 point roll cage. Now I can't use the spohn stuff and it wouldn't bolt up if i wanted it to.. Does anyone have any clue if i can just use a stock cross member from a T5 or do i have to get an after market one?? Or.. will i be able to just use the cross member from my torque arm setup and just sell the torque arm?
thanks
thanks

That seems strange, as Spohn claims the torque arm to connect to aftermarket Moser rear ends (albeit those that are intended to go in an F-body, if yours has been custom fitted, good luck). However, if the torque arm does not connect to the rear end (does your stock torque arm work? If so, then the Spohn one should as well), you will still need a different T-56-specific cross member (T5 crossmember doesn't work unless you're creative with a welder). The spohn crossmember should bolt up fine.

I heard from somewhere that i don't even need to use a torque arm with all the goodies this car has. I also believe i found a cross member from skulte.com
