Spohn Torque Arm Clarification Quick

I am in a situation to possibly get a spohn torque arm for like 250$ , now the rest of my suspension is pretty stock (new shocks) , but I have alot of mods on my car otherwise.

Basically is it worth it? I have bveen reading alot of posts and it seems that everyone says something to the effect that you need LCA 's and such to feel the full efect.

And also how hard is it to install? Could I do this myself, has anyone ever taken it to a shop? I just dont know about working under the car like that.

Yes, the T-arm is worth it. Granted you will see a bigger improvement with additional suspension mods, but alone you should still notice a difference.

As far as the install, it's not too big a deal to do yourself. The way I did mine was to support the car with ramps at all 4 wheels, then used my floor jack to support the trans while removing the stock T-arm and installing the Spohn arm.

Also, once installed, you need to set the pinion angle. This is pretty easy to do with an angle gauge and some simple math.
