The Spohn arm will transmit a lot of noise. You may just want to get an adjustable stock replacement from UMI. Have nothing but good things to say about mine.

They are definately worth the money. I can't speak of the other brands but I have all UMI suspension and I love it. When they say direct bolt on they mean it. No hammering, grinding or altering in any other way and their customer service is second to none.

I got the UMI adj. torque arm (longer stock style) for $250 when they had the 15% off sale.

Any wheel hop I had was gone and I have no extra road noise at all.

If noise is of any conern I would stick with a full length style torque arm. We offer an adjustable and non adjustable unit that would work for your application. On a side note we also offer a torque arm relocation kit to take the torque arm off the tailshaft of the transmission. Our relocation bracket also allows you to adjust the instant center up and down in the car which could be the difference of the car hooking and not hooking. If you have any questions regarding our products please feel free to give me a call or PM me.
