Re: Spohn Performance

i have a lot of Spohn suspension parts under my F body (including their torque arm and cross member). Everything fit well for me and I always got great customer service. I am sure everyone has their preferance though...UMI, BMR, PA, Racecraft....

Re: Spohn Performance

the only real issue you hear from most with regards to the torque arm in the loss of ground clearance. Other than that its a pretty stout piece.
