Arrow Driveshaft Loop Owners... IN!

Tried in the gears & axles forum, but those guys suck.

Since I got my TSP True Duals before I considered modifying my suspension setup, I now am blessed with the hassle of finding (and spending extra money on) suspension components that will work.

I'd like to run a dual-loop setup on my driveshaft, but as far as I can tell, that isn't possible with the true duals. En Lieu, I've found this driveshaft loop from Spohn:



Lakewood also produces a similar looking loop for our cars, although I'm not positive that it is adjustable like this Spohn unit.

Is anybody using this loop with true duals?

I'm not running duals, but I have a Lakewood. It looks just like the Spohn. I had mine powdercoated red, but haven't installed it yet. Part#18022. Here's a pic of all the parts (minus the bolts)....

Summit used to have a universal one. I don't care for much of anything that claims to be "universal" but the one they had adjusted in every direction imaginable. It's at least worth a look. It was cheap too.

My BMR loop looks like it has plenty of room for TD's to go through.

I got the Lakewood from Summit Racing last spring for $49.88. I think that was pretty much the standard price for it no matter where I looked. It comes zinc-plated, but I had my buddy powdercoat it for me.

Joey,

I have the Lakewood DS-Loop. It worked with my FLP's + Y-pipe and works with my QTP's and TSP True Duals

I have a Lakewood on my LT1 car has 3 inch true duals with x pipe, and it fits great. You can adjust almost everything on it.
