Re: Torque arm Sorry I don't like the spohn part they don't look very good. Meaning the bars are small and the quality is not the best. For the money go BMR cheap and a very good torqe arm.

A direct bolt in, requires no drilling, welding or hacking of your car. Uses the stock mounting points. will NOT interfere with ANY exhaust configuration. And best of all it works flawlessly.

Re: Torque arm I had a spohn and was very happy with it. It was a very heavy duty piece and had the loop built right in. I only got rid of it because the x pipe wouldn't clear it.

Re: Torque arm I have the Spohn ta. I love it. I got the spircal end. Haven't gotten it adjusted just right yet, but after installing it there was a awesome improvement of rear power.
It was a breeze to install and much better than the stock piece, would recommend getting one.
Only complaint is that it can be noisy, but I think I haven't set it up properly yet.

Re: Torque arm We just installed a Spohn torque arm on a 92 Z-28 with about a 350hp motor and it was very well made and works great. The only concern was that it is very close to the trans tunnel at the rear end and may be rubbing the body slightly (have to get back under the car and check). The LG arm and the Edlebrock arm look to be excellent parts as well....Good luck.

Re: Torque arm I've got the BMR Extreme Duty on mine. I don't like it. I had to have the holes in the bracket that bolts to the rear welded up and redrilled, in order to keep it from hitting the DS tunnel. I called BMR about this and they wouldn't do anything about it. The front mount welds to your SFC's and if you don't have the BMR SFC's that can be a problem. Also have a thumping noise right under the front seats everytime I change gears or get on it enough to make the rear wheels hop. I don't know if that is typical whith the Spohn or not?
I've been looking at taking mine out and going to the Spohn or back to a bolt in design. What sucks about that is now I'll have to buy a new set of SFC's also because I had to cut one of the braces out of my SLP's to put the mounting bar for the T/A in <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Torque arm just to let you guy's know I have personally fixed 3 Spohn TA. The front of the TA broke. I have seen alot of problems with those. Also you are better with something that has a dedicated mount for the front of the TA, Cars with alot of power put alot of stress when attached to tranny

Re: Torque arm Global West Trac-link is more handling oriented since it's a shorter tq-arm but it's a decent performer on the racetrack.
I run the Random Tech tq-arm and have cut 1.4 60 ft times BUT I have every suspension part available and run 28" slicks.
If you are M6 you might want to get the front mount of the tq arm off the tranny, but I think A4's can run a stock style torque arm into the 10's no problem.
