Spohn k member

Hi Just finishing up an ls1 swap went with the Spohn tubular k member. I put the front suspension back on yesterday and the control arm mounts are closer together in the front than my old k member by about an inch. I was able to get the toe in close enough to drive it by adjusting the tierod ends but I'm pretty much out of adjustment. The car is a 91 GTA anyone else run into this?

Re: Spohn k member

I have the Spohn K member and had a similar issue, although perhaps not as severe. My front wheels were pointed out a bit, but I adjusted that back forward enough to not notice it now, although I still have to go get a real alignment. Overall I'm happy with the k member though.

Re: Spohn k member

one issue that some of us are facing, is that our cars are 19-29 years old. we do not know the history of how are cars have been treated by previous owners. if they have been wrecked or evean jumped one late night over a set of train tracks. (not that I have done any thing like that)
