Spohn Torque arm installed...wow...

well today i finally got my car to my old shop and got it up on the lift, i had my exhaust welded so it wont fall off anymore, and i finally installed my Spohn Adjustable Torque arm. It the arm that mounts to a crossmember that replaces the stock g-load brace. It took about 15 min to install and as soon as i had the car on the road, i noticed the difference immediately. The car felt much stiffer and wanted hook much better. The old setup felt spongey and would move the entire trans/shifter up under acceleration, now it's just pure acceleration. I love it, I'm sorry i didnt put it in 2 months ago when i got it instead of waiting till now for some reason. I still have to put my relocation brackets in( maybe not if the arm can adjust to compensate for what they do) and i need to get my subframe connectors and lca's. Only one problem with the Spohn setupo.. now i am too low, i never thought i'd say that but i am, i need to get new lowering springs with less drop. right now the lower crossmember has about 2.5-3" of ground clearence under the middle of the car and i scrape on everything... BAD. so my current springs will be for sale now in the classified section. I plan on attempting to go to Island this sunday and get some new numbers. and hopefully the TQ arm was worth the money. It'll definately be needed with my new motor coming soon.
