The Spohn cross brace will cut ground clearance down alot, especially on a lowered car.

I run a prokit with mine, so I took the crossbrace to a friends tool shop and we modified it. Milled off @ 1" of material from the bottom and added rectangular stock to the front edge to stiffen it back up. Added a 1/4" plate to gusset the back side.
It worked much better.
Still have to be careful trying to get on a lift at the garage to get inspected, but other than that, I didn't have any problems.
I like the Spohn TA. Just sold my poly unit and will buy one with rod end. Mike

I have the spohn
I think its one of the best units on the market.
In my opinion the most important thing about the torque arm is getting it off of the tranny and i believe only 3 company's are doing that. spohn is the only one thats a complete bolt on.
I can also adjust my pinion angle with it.
As far as ground clearance stay away from the long tube header one unless your car is strictly a drag car.
The lowest point on my car is the cat.
The subrames and the spohn mount point are next and there about the same hight off the ground.

Good luck Mike

I prefer it mounting to the tailshaft... It's out of the way, and can take some serious loads. I know cars running 10's with trans-mounted Torque arms.

For me the primary importance is an arm that's rigid first, adjustable second, and is fairly long third. Short arms mess with handling. Weak arms mess with brake hop, and non adjustable arms are just nuts in my eyes. Not hard to adjust correctly and not one pinion angle is right for everyone.

Yep!
Mounting poition at the same place as the Spohn (with driveshaft loop) but with a rod end/sliding front mount. And total cash outlay of around $75.

I too have the welding skill and ability to bend pipes nicely, but have been wondering one thing.. where can I buy the ends you need to weld to the pipes on the rear that allow a hyme to be threaded in?

What pipe you going to use... I was thinking 1.25x.120 wall for mine. And will Random Tech sell you the front bushing they use on their torque arm, the poly one that is 1.25 ID and fits in the stock bracket? I'd need one of those as well

Has anyone had experience with the new adjustable torque arm from SLP? Design and pricing is similar to the Random Tech unit.
