Do a and you'll find thousands of posts. In a nutshell, Spohn is a board sponsor whose work has furthered the enjoyment of our hobby. First-rate equipment.

SFCs are good. would recomend them any day.

Wonderbar, I'd do a search for issues about dual fans etc. TDS is held in better regard. also board sponsor.

His swaybars had issues with my iroc, for which he offered no significant help. ie. they were nowhere near fitting!

Si.

Spohn Performance make good products, but if I am buying SFC I would get the Boxed SFC from UMI performance, but I prefer boxed style over the tubular styles. Plus I like the UMI's SFC better because they box the lower control arm mounts.

*also Chris Alston's Chassisworks(www.cachassisworks.com) is suppose to offer a good boxed SFC, but I have never seen them personnally just heard about them. Also heard of people installing both Alston's and Spohn SFC, but I have never personnally seen this either, so not really sure of the truth of it.

Horrible stuff. The absolute worst crap out there..

Just kidding. Good stuff and it is the best stuff out there. Why else would the back half of the car say Spohn all over it

A very good product. I waited for almost a year when they were redesigning their SFCs from the Boxed to the Tube style. I am glad I waited and had no problems with the insallation even with SLP headers and 3' SLP Catback exhaust. As a original owner of a 1987 IROC-Z, I can say the car is tighter now with the Spohn SFCs then when it was new. And thats saying a lot about a 18 year old car.

I have quite a bit of Spohns suspension stuff under my car and it all fit 99% perfect. You gotta remember, just becuz someone says that one of Spohns products or anyone elses didnt fit or something that it doesnt mean their parts are junk or something. Our cars are getting old and we put them through some abuse from time to time and over that time, the chassis will flex a bit and eventally, it will not be perfectly new anymore. Adding SFC or something to a 100K plus car is more then likey not going to be a perfect fit. it all depends on the history of the car and what it went through in its life.

But like I said, I would definitly buy Spohns products anytime.
