ATTN: All interested in Spohn components!
Just fair warning to those that intend to use Spohn Suspension components:
This is my personal review of the products I bought last month, and have recently installed.
Front/Rear Sway bars: handles much much better, car turns more tightly, overall better response
Panhard Bar: car feels much tighter, rearend
Adjustable Torque arm WITH optional Driveshaft safety loop: This comes with a crossmember designed to fit the new torque arm, the torque arm itself is great...the safety loop option is an extension on the crossmember roughly 18 inches in length at the end of which is welded a 2 inche wide safety loop, VERY VERY sturdy. My warning to you is this, if you car has been lowered considerable (3 inches like mine) I DO NOT recommend getting the optional loop. I got it, and the torque arm kept striking the safety loop on virtually any load...so I then adjusted the torque arm to allow for more clearance, I also adjusted the crossmember. This resulted in bottoming out at least 5 times in a 20 mile cross-town drive. I have a good indentation on the underside of my body from the torque arm striking it ( where the arm attaches to the pumpkin)...
I then adjusted the torque arm back to where I had it and this solved the bottoming out problem. I had to sawzall the loop off.
All in all, great products, just dont get the safety loop, saving yourself 40 bucks and a few headaches.

The Relocation brackets are great and so are the lower control arms. I bought the poly/poly combo and the arm are made from chromoly. They are great pieces and you won't be dissappointed with them.
