Arrow Driveshaft Loop Owners... IN!

Tried in the gears & axles forum, but those guys suck.

Since I got my TSP True Duals before I considered modifying my suspension setup, I now am blessed with the hassle of finding (and spending extra money on) suspension components that will work.

I'd like to run a dual-loop setup on my driveshaft, but as far as I can tell, that isn't possible with the true duals. En Lieu, I've found this driveshaft loop from Spohn:



Lakewood also produces a similar looking loop for our cars, although I'm not positive that it is adjustable like this Spohn unit.

Is anybody using this loop with true duals?

i believe i read that guys running TSP TD's are using the lakewood just fine - i don't think it's adjustable tho

I'm not running duals, but I have a Lakewood. It looks just like the Spohn. I had mine powdercoated red, but haven't installed it yet. Part#18022. Here's a pic of all the parts (minus the bolts)....

Summit used to have a universal one. I don't care for much of anything that claims to be "universal" but the one they had adjusted in every direction imaginable. It's at least worth a look. It was cheap too.

My BMR loop looks like it has plenty of room for TD's to go through.

I got the Lakewood from Summit Racing last spring for $49.88. I think that was pretty much the standard price for it no matter where I looked. It comes zinc-plated, but I had my buddy powdercoat it for me.

Joey,

I have the Lakewood DS-Loop. It worked with my FLP's + Y-pipe and works with my QTP's and TSP True Duals

I have a Lakewood on my LT1 car has 3 inch true duals with x pipe, and it fits great. You can adjust almost everything on it.
