Default spohn torque arm

what are your opinions on the spohn torque arm?
is it worth another fifty bucks than the bmr?

I will hopefully be ordering the Spohn in a week or less. I have seen both installed and ran on some decent powered cars, and the BMR is the only one I seen break, matter of fact one customer broke two BMR's. No Spohn incidents that I know here, so they get my vote. Now to see if they can give me crossbar that is straight not with an exhaust provisional bend.

The only thing that would concern me about the Sphon is that it looks like it attatches to the floorpan where the trans tunnel brace used to be? Doesn't seem like the strongest mounting point to me, but then again I have never heard of anyone having any trouble with it.

I run a Spohn with out ant problems except getting the pinion angle perfect to stop all vibration.The mounting point is strong since under power the bar pushes up into the floor.

I run the Spohn Torque Arm with the ds loop mount.
Steve also came out with a new end that will mount in the stock location if you do not want to use a ds loop!

Here ya go, just put it on the site:

http://www.spohn.net/product.cfm?productid=1473

If you know the loop will clear your y-pipe, call me to order it with a loop. I'm not offering a loop on the site to prevent headaches
