Default anybody runnin lt's and a body mount torque arm?

i got a 94z with hooker LT's and a LANES x-pipe its also lowered 1-3/4 in ground clearance is NOT an issue at all! my problem is a want to run a SPOHN body mount torque arm but is there a specific one for an x-pipe? and about the car being lowered, its kool now but any thing lower would be an issue so a tigh TA would be badass! any advise would be greatly appreciated.


this is kinda what i had in mind but i dont see the TD's fitting

My problem was the drive shaft was hitting the bar to the loop, then when i shimmed it down out of the way, it was hitting my Y-pipe......something always goes wrong, I wouldnt say its a problem with UMI, just mine dumbass custom y pipe

i have a tunnel mounted setup available with a crossmember that works with the TSP duals and has no clearance problems... if yours are anything similar then there shouldn't be a problem.

how would you rate the ride quality of the torque arm on the street?? Is it substantially rougher on the street or anything like that???

you won't notice much of any difference in ride quality at all. most people judge torque arms by the amount of noise they make. this setup is the same as any manufacturers body mounted application... they all transmit more noise into the cabin than stock. the one i make is isolated with a teflon lined heim in the front of the arm and a poly bushing in the bottom of the link where it attaches to the xmember. it makes very little, if any noise.

think before you pull your tranny you should inspect how your exhaust passes the body mount area...

I have a custom true dual system with an x-pipe, and a Spohn torque arm. The x-pipe SITS on the brace, and I put some heater hose between the two to get rid of noise. No issues at all. I love my setup.
