SLP SFC with Spohn Body Torque Arm

Is this do-able? from what i understand about the 2 parts, is that the SLP bolt on SFC, bolts to the tunnel brace support and the spohn T/A w/body mount, mounts there also? i may be wrong abotu the T/A. but does this sound right? will the SFC's get in the way of the torque arm?

Re: SLP SFC with Spohn Body Torque Arm

if the SFC's bolt too the tunnel brace mounts, yes they will be in the way

why not just get a set of tubular SFC's?
the triangulated SFC's seem too be a PITA when it comes too adding aftermarket parts and the difference between the 2 different styles is going too be negligible IMO

I put the Spohn TA on lastweek end. How did you put this on with the SLP sfc's. The instructions say to put the crossover (g-brace) under the sfc's. There is no way mine will go under there and get it bolted up. The tubing prevents the g-brace from going under the sfc's. So how did you do it?

I stuck mine over the SFC flanges and it's fine that way.

Re: SLP SFC with Spohn Body Torque Arm

UMI Performance recommended the 3-Point SFC's to me when purchasing the tunnel mounted torque arm. The SFC's take the stress instead of the floor board, its a pretty sick set-up. Check out the picture below, give UMI a call and I am sure they can set you up with a price on both

Re: SLP SFC with Spohn Body Torque Arm

I have slp triangulated sub frame connectors, and the spohn torque arm. I put the torque arm over the sub frames. Works great. I just bought longer bolts. No studs needed. I have yet to run into any problems doing it this way. Go for it, it stiffens that bizzich right up! I love it!
