Appreciate the link dean, however the car is still being painted and should be back in my hands at the latest by next weekend.

Also I got some questions for ya about suspension, i'll give you a PM some time whenever they resurface to my brain.

Anyways, a few pics of the torque arm .

I called him and let him know it will be a LS1 driveshaft, mine will definatley clear but not sure if yours will since I called him to let him know. Just give him a ring, im pretty sure he didnt change a thing and this one has about a 4" diameter.

i put dropzones on mine, great ride and look sweet. i got KYB shocks and struts to go on it as well, i dont have any complaints. theyre well worth the money and are a heck of a lot cheaper than all the others out there.

This might be a dumb question, but does the Torque Arm come with a new cross member for mounting, or is that just for the safety loop itself??

Its a new crossmember for my T-56. The driveshaft loop was an option. All of spohn's adjustable torque arms come with a new crossmember except if you get the original mount location torque arm. If you want a adjustable and want to keep your old criossmember, try a BMR, believe thier adjustable is a weld in.

How long have you had them on? Notice any sagging yet? Thanks.

If I get the spohn $110 T56 crossmember can I use that torque arm with it later?

It looks like a different crossmember when setup for the torque arm that doesn't connect to the tailshaft.

Wish mine had the elongated slots for the trans mount would have made things so much easier.

Nope since everything is all welded together.

Yup, this is correct, I called spohn and asked him this myself and he said nope, but he said it will be easy to get rid of it as this is thier #1 selling item. In fact, I do have a buyer . My torque arm goes on this Saturday :hail:.

Good point.. I guess I can buy the cheaper one and just resell it later.

Have you driven the car yet man? Let us know what kind if difference there is between the stock t/a and the new spohn setup.
