Spohn gets my vote. I have not heard any negative feedback on the UMI products either.

Well i have a Spohn adj crossmember mount tq arm and i say u cant go wrong with it...just keep it greased and it doesnt pop or bang that bad. of course i did have to get the one without the poly bushing. lol. So that maked mine a lil worse. but to be completely honest ive never heard anything bad about neither product. So it soley up to u as far as which u like best.

I love my UMI trans mounted torque arm. Besided keeping my pinion angle perfect, I forget it's back there. Very pleased with my UMI piece.

They both are good I think the UMI is a tad cheaper. I know most of the under of my car is UMI. Not knocking SPOHN by all means.

I have the UMI Tunnel Mounted Adjustable Torque Arm and 3 Point Bolt In SFC. Mine makes the popping noises and I can't seem to find where they are coming from. I assume it is directly under me at the cross member. I am still trying to get the pinion angle right, i think i can hear a whineing noise at higher speeds from the rear end. But they are great products and the installation was easy.

Sounds like Delrin bushings you have there. They are harder than Poly, and also deflect less.

My vote goes to UMI as well.

I had read there seems to be less noise with the UMI version of the TB mounted Adjustable TA so that is the way we went. Got ours for a great price from Mr. Young above, no complaints!
