Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality Looking into buying some of Spohns Del-sphere pivot joint FWD A-Arms. Just wondering what the ride quality is like after there fitted n how it effects stuff like road nose, steering vibration, comfort etc... my cars gonna be lowered so I know thats gonna make the ride alittle harder. so anyone with their experience n opinions of aftermarket a-arms (any company and joint type) and how it feels to ride after feel free to chip in. :thanks: |
Re: Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality you should notice no difference in noise or ride quality. hows the rest of the cars suspension? tubular a-arms should be about last on the list. |
Re: Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality That good to hear that they dont allow to much vibration through :)

Re: Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality My Spohn non adjustable A arms (almost $500 with options / shipping), had them installed ($75), and an aligment $90... they moved the tire back and were rubbing in the back... (which was not a problem before).... So i purchased some global west delrin bushing $145, had my stock a arms cleaned and old stock busings removed, new ones installed with new moog ball joints ($250 parts n labor), removed spohn a arms, reinstalled stock upgrades and still need a $90 alignment.... but no more rub... All in all that fiasco cost me almost $1000.... BS... I hadn't heard anything bad about those A arms here, but after I had my problems, seems that many people have had problems with them... Buyer beware.... Rafael |

Why not clean up and powder coat the stock a arms and install new Energy Suspension poly bushings. ;) |
Re: Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality With the stock K member... I sold my a arms for a $300 loss to a guy that bought a spohn k member, put on his stock a arms and it moved the wheels forward... Is the car your daily driver? I got the global west delrin bushings instead... no powder coat, cleaned them up and painted them.... not a show car, but want it to handle nice... |
Re: Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality cool, spohn must do something different with the geometry which meeses up the setup when mix n matching with stock parts.... sucks that it cost u so much. Cars never gonna be a daily drive, but want it to handle and perfrom. its a pure hobby car... third gen is a perfect cruisier/GT car imo |
Re: Del-Sphere/adjustable A-Arm rdie quality I have every Del-sphere part Spohn makes for our cars. They are great. Ride quality is wonderful. And I am really picky about ride quality/noise/vibration. I know luvofjah loves to point out the problems he has had with the Spohn a-arms. I will point out that they work fine with the Spohn k-member. |
