Spohn's are about $20 cheaper but I haven't heard of them as much as BMR.

Spohn is more rounded on bottom vs. square for BMR. Could make a difference with a 17" rim at the inside of the rim, probably not an issue for an 18'. If Clearance was an issue you could grind/round off a corner for more clearance on BMR. BMR is square and Spohn is tubular. Spohn might be a little lighter. BMR looks sturdier. Spohn has different options for upper bushing and adjustability for extra camber adjustment. (I would think adjustability more important if is car is lowered)

Pfadt also make a TA, super light weight with an extra lower bushing. This bushing is hard to change/special tool? The extra bushing may help a little. Not sure how solid the TA is. They show it in the current GM High tech Magazine soon to be on store shelf.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I finally got to take the car out to the track with the new Spohn TAs last night. I lowered my stock tires down to 24lbs.

No More Wheel Hop!!!

I've now got an issue with it lighting up the tires but the wheel hop is gone. I'm sure it's mostly due to the TAs but also a little bit to do with the lower tire pressue.

I'm still not launching good enough but that'll just come with practice (I hope).

But.....if you're going to drag race, get some TAs and I still highly recommend the Sphon Del-Sphere version.

I get a bunch of people that I try to explain the Del-Sphere to that ask "don't they may a bunch of noise?". The answer is NO...not at all. I can't hear anything different than before and I feel no driving difference that what was there before either. So...great TAs in my opinion. I'll eventually add the Del-Sphere Toe Rods as well.
