Thumbs up for Spohn Performance
Thumbs up for Spohn Performance. I ordered my parts on a Tuesday morning and had them in Virginia by Thursday evening. I even spoke to Steve Spohn who took the time to answer all my questions and give me a few hints on installing the suspension components. I then called him back a few weeks later and he again answered my questions. No problems with the order and easy to deal with.

Re: Thumbs up for Spohn Performance

I just recieved my LCA's and torque arm. Fast shipping and great quality. I ordered through Fast Toys.net cause I'm in Canada.
PS is it pronounced "SPOON" or how it looks "SP-OHN"

Re: Thumbs up for Spohn Performance
I remember steve posting that its pronounced like sphone.
Re: Thumbs up for Spohn Performance
It is pronounced like "spone" as in rhyming with "bone".
Spohn himself answered this question on the forums a few years ago.
and for the record, I like his stuff too. Had a bunch of it on my thirdgen Firebird. Now I drive a Turbo Buick and I just yesterday installed a set of his lower control arms. Good stuff, great price. I have a set of upper control arms I'll be installing too. This stuff will be put to the test as my car has cut 1.6 60 foots and is capable of 1.5s.
A Thirdgen.org member from the beginning he got his start here fabricating parts for people on the side. I like to support an original TGO'er I knew that made it big.

Re: Thumbs up for Spohn Performance
A great company and person to do business with. All of the parts are top of the line. I ordered t-arm, trans x-member w/dl loop and t-arm mount, lca's, sfc's, and a panhard bar. All of my stuff was here the day after I ordered it, great quality, and answered all of my q's when I called. He even went as far as to be willing to swap my 700r x-mem (unmounted) for a th400 when I was thinkin about switchin. (6 months later)
Savin some dough to buy his k-mem and a-arms.
