2 problems, need help
I'm in the process of adding Spohns Torque Arm, and a PHB from UMI.
The bolt will NOT go through one of the holes on the back passenger side to lock in the PHB? Is thier some wierd trick to getting it in? Do I have to drill the hole bigger? is this a common problem?
NEXT... I already have SLP's DD SFC's on the car... and they bolt on to the tunnel brace the same place the TA does... In which order should I be putting the peices?
Car/SFC/TA OR Car/TA/SFC??? The SFC's add almost a 1/4" should I get longer bolts ? Should I be using LockTite on the bolts?
I'm hoping to get some help soon tonight so I can finish the car up tomorrow... THANKS

I installed my PHB with the car on RAMPS so the suspension is loaded and Nothing moves.. then I used a Jack to support the rear end so I can move it up and down. If you need to center the rear, you will need to put jackstand on the chassis.. then use the jack to support the rear end so you can move it left or right.. its heavy so becareful.
with the SFC.. the suspension MUST be loaded.
I did get longer bolts to install my SFC originally.

After about 45 min of trying to figure out every angle out their, I tried putting the bolt in from the other direction, and it would'nt go in... Thats how I knew for sure the hole was too small.
The PHB from Unbalanced came with 2 bolts, 4 ends, 4 washers, 2 nuts... I'm putting them in the same way the stock ones came out. The driver side went in from the back, and the nut was in the front, and the Passenger was just the oposite.

1/2" drill bit... PHB bolts went in like it was cool....
The Torque Arm remains a mystery to me,,, and I need some help with this one. The Instructions Spohn sent from my understanding says to go car, Torque Arm, SFC, Washer/bolt. The Passenger side is impossible to do it that way though because one of the bars runs across where the SFC would bolt down at...Unless I was take a good inch groove cut in the SFC fastener it cant be done.
I'm not sure which bolts need to be the "super tight ones" Anyone want to PC paintbrush and show me what's what, and what needs loctite, ect. I'd be greatful!!!

OH, I'm sorry, I see what you mean now... Hmm.. good point, I guess by drilling the hole bigger, I did maybe open up a can of worms possibly... BUT I did'nt get a bar from BMR so that's maybe a good start... The bar from Unbalanced "seems" like a very nice looking bar, and I've heard a lot of good things about UnbalancedEngineering.
Still looking for wisdom with the Spohn TA....
