It's funny how they say Spohn's design is a lot better. Looking at the pictures I don't see how the Spohn's are that much stronger than the PA's.
The Spohn A-arms look much stronger then the PA racing ones and seem to be a better design. The main difference is that it's a true A-arm rather then a V-arm. The PA racing piece is missing the cross of the A, it only appears to have it because of the "spring box" which also isn't very substancial on the PA unit compared to the Spohn.
In addition to that, the Spohns are made with 1.25" x .120" DOM, while the PA racing pieces are made with 1.00" x .120" DOM.
You don't save much weigh with the Spohn spring box units, but I'd at least be comfortable with the idea of them at least holding up to street driving.
I just wish someone would get around to testing the Spohn pieces so I could know whether I should put them on the wish list or not.
