My car is kinda low, I have a SPohn Arm also. My Driveshaft was hitting the top of the loop on launch and big bumps. I took it off, heated it up and elongated it, kinda egg shaped it and it has been fine.

Both of the ones we installed were stock hieght six spd cars. One had a denny's shaft the other had a LPE. Both hit the DS loop. Other then that the TQ arm worked great. One of the guys took his off and sold it because he felt it was to loud for a street car.

What size dive shafts? 3.5"? We really have no problems except a few with the larger 3.5" drive shafts like the PST. We recommend a 3.0" Chrome Moly drive shaft to be used in conjunction with this set-up.

Our transmission mounted torque arm was built around the TSP true duals to offer the best possible clearance. Our torque arm #2205 seen here- www.umiperformance.com/2205 in most cases offer addtional clearance over the stock torque arm allowing you to tuck your system up tighter against the floor and gain ground clearance.

If you have any questions please ask. Thank you!

I've had BMR and Spohn adj. torque arms and neither would fit with TSP duals. They are very good pieces though.

No problems with mine- running street tires and 346 RWHP- really stops the transmission from flopping around when driving hard- those axle torque loads should have never been put on the tail of the tranny, IMHO-

UMI is quality stuff, and great service- no regrets here-
