I have Spohn's poly non-adjustable upper A-arms on my car and am happy with them. I don't know if they made a difference in anything since I installed them with lowering springs, but they sure look nice :p They don't make any extra noise or anything, and I'm happy about that for sure.
Spohn makes very nice stuff. I do like the looks of UMI's road race k-member a bit more than Spohn's offering, but the A-arms look nearly identical.

DO NOT BUY HIS K MEMBER UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT SIX MONTHS
He told me the wait would be 4 months. I ordered it January because I knew I wouldn't be ready for it till this summer. Four months came, and so did the excuses, the emails that said, it's waiting to be powder coated, weeks past, same excuses. I finally got it last month. Then he had some a arms that he was going to mod for me, he said send them in(3 months ago)so they would be shipped with the k member. Well he forgot, then I had to wait on the, "They are waiting to be powder coated excuse again. I finally got them a few weeks ago.
Spohn does make a good product. It just seems like he is over his head with these k members. Go to the thirdgen.org board if you want some more opinions.

steves problems started when the building he is in burned down, all but his section, but it put him under the gun, it took time to clean the shop from the water damage and they had to get genarators in there to run the shop witch he can only run one of his welders at a time, I know hes working all the time to try to get stuff out, doring the day steve is normally on the phone, his dad and 2 other guys work in the shop, but at night steve is normally in the shop working on things. he had a hard time keeping up with them before after the fire it got worse.

Im 15 minutes from his shop as well.Same thiong like you just said he probably just got backed up cause of the fire.If you could see the building that burned down you would probably be like okay i understand now.It's that big.
If he would have told me that I would have understood. It was the, oh it's getting powder coated now, then the same thing next week, then it was, oh it just got built its going to powder coating. IT was the run around that made me mad and he should be more upfront about it. I hope he gets things straightend out because if he does other people like me, he won't have to worry about keeping up with orders because he isn't going to have any.

that fire was the biggest fire in history around here, you could see smoke from over 50 miles away there were some reports as far away as carlisle that could see the smoke. it was nuts. the only thing that saved steves shop was the fact there were fire doors between his section and the main building, they pulled those closed before they ran out, if they woldnt have closed those doors his shop would have burned as well.

BTW these pictures dont do anything compared to the fire in real life, you cant tell the size of the building from the pictures, that building was probably over a 1/4 mile long its huge, over 70% of it burned in the fire.

spohn I live 5 minutes away and its true the fire was ridiculous. i actually work next to the building where he gets his stuff powder coated and those guys do good work but are slow. I also know he just hired more staff over there to speed up production of the products. Very good guy.
