I want to see if they changed their design to something more like the BMR lower a-arms. I had a major failure on both my lower a-arm mounts so I want to save you the money and the time.

These arms are the older style. Been on the car a long time. I got them with the roller when I bought it. I saw your failures and I think mine are different than yours.

Hahaha yea I talked to them, all my fault and they said that they knew about this issue, but there was nothing they could do for me, so they will never have my business again for anything, ever. I went as far and removing everyone of their products and replaced them with BMR, since there is no point of running that trash when it is just going to fail on me again.

Oh yea if you want the part numbers for their ball joints they are the same as stock. If they send you any that are stamped with the Spohn logo throw them out, since they are little more than paper weights.

I should have know they were flyby night when the girl that answered the phone knew nothing about any of the products and started to tell my how she couldn't wait this work to be over so she could enjoy her friday. All I ever got from them was e-mails, from their "expert" relayed thru someone else. I'm pretty sure I lost brain cells talking on the phone with them. I guess 1600 dollars spent on their company 1 year ago is just chump change to them and that I didn't matter. I hope they go out of business, cause they have one hell of a model.

/end rant.

Sorry Jim for jacking up your thread.

Just a bolt on car since it is rare. She has shorty headers and 1.6 RR and a cut out. Nothing special. Car put down 330 to the wheels. More than enough for her. she babies it unless she is in a mood to mess around with the locals....
