Spohn torque arm, how are they compared to everyone?

Looking at a used one. How do they compare to the competition? Are they heavier than stock 2002 WS6's? Are they a pain in the butt and not worth it? Feed me some info, anything appreciated!

Thanks!

You don't need it. Go and buy some subframe connectors or some LCAs and relocation brackets.

A heavy duty torque arm is the very LAST suspension peice that you need to get. And then only after you have enough power to break the stock one.

I thought torque arms are supposed to help out traction, nose dive during braking, and some wheel hop? I did order some sfc, panhard bar, and lower control arms, all poly/rod.

So you are saying I should spend the money else where?

A torque arm is really only helpful on highly modded cars. When your car starts getting into the low 12's or 11's then it may be time to upgrade your torque arm.

Given that your stock you are going to get better results with subframe connectors, control arms and relocation brackets.

Frankly, a torque arm is a waste of your money now.
