Removing Spohn Torque arm..Which next?
Removing Spohn Torque arm..Which next? I have had it!! I keep bending the floor back, but it just keeps banging! The extra noise, the bolts loosening up, and I slam something every day...just too low...and Just not worth it, I would rather have the wheel hop!
Anyone running a moser 12 bolt and happy with their adjustable Torque Arm? I am going back to the stock one for now. The wheel hop problem was 100% solved, but the everyday driveability has suffered too much.

I like my UMI one very much 
I don't however have a 12-bolt, but I am using a Moser 9" housing with their torque arm bracket. There was one spot that was close to hitting, but I just gave the floorboard a couple small "love taps" and re-undercoated that area and no problems.

I have a moser 12 bolt w/Spohn adj. arm, how low is your car, my drag car (84' firebird), from the frame connectors is about 5" off the ground my T/A is no where near the ground, my headers,trans. pan,exaust would hit first. JR.

[/IMG]I catch my driveway all the time, and yesterday I SLAMMED it at a gas station on the underground tank fill, it was a little high and the ground around it was a little sunk, and I thought I ripped something out of the car!

I had horrible wheel hop too till i got some lca's and this TA relocation. I also did springs and shocks too. I use to get bad shifter shake on the 1-2 shift and its gone now plus no more wheel hop.

The relocation bracket looks pretty stout, but there is not exhaust system in the photo. Sig says you have true duals....are they above or below the torque arm relocation bracket? Maybe it's just the angle that the picture is taken, but it doesn't look like there's room between the relocation bracket and the body for much of an exhaust.
My car came with a TA is a custom fab job that mounts to a diagonal brace that ties in the SFCs and the tunnel brace, so the TA is nice and short, but there is no linkage to allow fore / aft movement. As a result, it's noisy and I've worn the bushing out because it's had to create it's own clearance for fore /aft motion. I'm sure the suspension is binding also, as everything else is BMR with poly bushings - except I went back to rubber on the front LCA mounts as a short term action to allow for some give while I figure out what I want to do. I am leaning towards the UMI tunnel brace mounted piece, but I'm lowered (BMR springs) and I have LT headers, ORY and TSP Rumbler so I need to get the bracket that is clearanced for the exhaust, and I'm worried it will be too low and I'll drag it all over Charleston!

I have a kooks ory and a magnaflow catback there is plenty of room. There is also someone on here with the same relocation bracket and true duals.
Here is a pic of my y-pipe.
Here is a pic of DVST8OR's true duals with the same relocation bracket.

I have the Spohn with cross member i freaking hate it! I'm not lowered just have a large Ypipe and the bitch is banging like a screen door in a hurricane. I can't get it to stop.
