Spohn adjutable TA I am ready to buy the Spohn adjustable TA with f&r loops I was told that the Spohn TA frame mount with out it's has fitment issues and vibrate excessively is there any truth to this or what. Anyone have any problems with there Spohn TA?
Thanks ACE
Thanks ACE
I have the Spohn for LT's with the dual DS loops. I had absolutely no fitment problems whatsoever on my 2K WS6 using stock rear, Hooker LT's and the JetHot Y-Pipe.
I haven't really noticed any vibration over the Random Tech Arm I was using previously. But due to the design of the 'swiveling' front mount you will hear/feel a slight clunking noise when the car shifts due to the front mount moving thru it's arc.
Oh & BTW, you can only install the rear DS loop with the suspension loaded (such as on an alignment rack) if you try to install while the car is on the rack with the suspension hanging - it will not go on.

I only followed the instructions directly from Spohn (they do have you remove all the washers before using the bolts).
I even spoke with Steve on the phone - he didn't mention anything about needing longer bolts - if he thought I needed them, and actually sold them, why wouldn't he have reccommended them? I sure would have had no problem with spending $17 on some bolts after spending $450+ on the arm.

Thanks for the advice DARK AGE I might as well get the kit it's only 17. I got in touch with Spohn they said they will even let me get my stuff in yellow to match my trim . SO no problem with vibration? I guess the people that told me about that set theirs up wrong.

I can't say why he didn't recommend you use the longer bolts ( maybe he didn't think of it ), all I know is when we installed the Spohn TA on a friends SS we did use there longer bolt kit....how many threads are showing thru the nut? Again, it's just my opinion and I'm not saying you did it wrong.
If you have or get a 12 bolt the bracket on the TA that mounts to the diff can interfere with the DS tunnel. I made a dent in the well under the rear passenger seat to eliminate the contact.
My car slightly vibrates above 75 mph, I haven't looked into too much yet. But I currently have a 0* pinion angle so I doubt that's the problem. It might be the tires or DS which I plan on replacing in the spring.
