Yeah, I tried them and like the problems that the other guys are having with the drag race rear lower control arms NOT fitting as advertised the front arms have their risks too.

So far I am the only one to discuss install results. No one else has responded. The results were not good. -0.3 caster after install. If you were to use the Pedders eccentic bolt kit you will get about around +1.0* to add to the result. To correct it you will need atleast 8*. They were that far off. Spohn isn't backing his products. Says that other customers have installed them. There is no supporting data of customer front end alignments to support his claim of "being made to OEM dimensions."

I recommend saving that hard earned cash and going with a sure thing and get the OEMs arms. $600 is a high price for an absolute no refund situation of R and D.

My alignment tech has at least 30 years experience and done many of these cars. None before me with the Spohn front arms. He allowed me to look at the car and discuss with him the problem not getting the cast in spec but he was pretty certain that there was no getting to spec. I myself have spent about 30 years studying and making suspension mods and agree with him.

If you get them AND put your car on the rack AND get at least the factory recommended caster spec of +6.0 - +6.6 please let me know and I will gladly retract my posts on this issue.
