Default Spohn Torque Arm Installed *pics*

Here she is, bolted right up, feels a lot tighter now, even if it does pop the floor under hard acceleration.

they are nice, but you have to give the floor pan by the rear some business (BFH) to get that to stop happening.

Or, you can just drive it and it will make room for itself after a few hard bumps. Looks nice.

Never had a problem with my Spohn T/A hitting anything under the car - I still get a thump from it though every time the car shifts.

I was told by Spohn that this is 'normal' and it comes from the lever style front mount they use instead of the sliding stock style mount.

I bet a poly trans mount would fix the body bumping.

it's actually hitting the car where it bolts to you diff...... look up there you will see that you only have an inch or so of travel.....the dent/scuffs make the point of impact very clear
