Any word on the Spohn tubular SFC's???

Rather then bother him with this, I figured I'd just ask here. I haven't been in this forum much lately so may have missed it if it was already posted. Has there been any word about when Spohn will have his tubular SFC's ready? Is he working on any other new products? Thanks.

That's odd... He said he'd be charging the same in a previous thread. Which bodily oriface did you get your info from?

I was wondering the same thing. I have been waiting on his subframe connectors to come out so I could place a $1400 order.

I am ordering

SFC's when they are ready
Torque arm for th350 swap
th350 driveshaft
Lca with polly/sperical ends
Lca relocator brackets
panhard bar
and a couple tubes of the polly bushing grease.

I would like to order now but I am very happy that he is going with the tubular design Which will help me make my car as light as is possiable.

I have seen the post that Steve Spoon said that he would be charging the same price for the new SFC's I don't knwo were you thought you saw him say that he wanted that much for the new design but you better go and look again. They cost $155 which is a bargan.

Yes he is going to make convertable subframe connectors but I don't think they will be avaliable right off the start of production. I think he said that the tubular was the only way he could make the convertiable models

I talked to Steve Wed. and he said he hoped to have them by the middle of June. I couldnt wait either. I ordered the whole set up from Sand W race cars. It came in today, the stuff really is heavy duty and everything is powder coated with out a scratch on it. I know it is bolt in but it can be welded if i have any problems. I just cant bring my self to grind that new powder coating off to weld it.
