Stiff. As in, the rear suspension is stiffer than normal? Give us some details.

I've had the Spohn unit on my car for over a year, and I love it.

It probably feels stiffer than before because the torque arm flexes much less than the stock unit does, thus resulting in a stiffer feel. Now are you having any other problems such as vibrations or any of the like?

The Spohn unit doesn't have the front end play like the stock unit. The stock unit has a slip front mount and the Spohn has a solid front mount transfuring foreword movement to upward movement.

I have the Spohn tunnel mount on mine, love it.. I'm guessing you have some type of vibration now, by your last post? Check to make sure you seated the U-Joint correct to the diff, would cause a bad vibration if it's not on correctly

I had that problem. I put rubber isolators between the body and the front brace mounts. I had to replace my pinion yoke as the runout was too great. Then I had to really dial in my pinion angle to between 0 and minus 1/2 degree. No more vibration.
