Good question...

My local drag strip requires you have one on any car running I think a 13.50 or better...

They haven't caught me yet, though.

Hi

The Spohn and Lakewood are identical. The Spohn is powdercoated wich looks better. The Lakewood is zink coated which does not look as good, but it is half the price. Also, many local shops sell Lakewood so you might be able to find it witjhout having to order over the web.

I currently have a Spohn chasis mount torque arm. It doesn't have a loop on it. What are my options as far as installing a driveshaft loop?
