D/S Saftey Loop?

Any one have pictures of a mounted Spohn drive shaft saftey loop or a lakewood?

Any of you that do have them, did you have any problems fitting them to the car?

Have a good one

I got a lakewood from summit racing. Bolted in as easy as it gets. To pieces bolt together around the DS. Good fit, tucks up well, and $48.50. Cant beat it.

I've got a Spohn that I put in a few weeks ago. I ended up having to drop the DS to get the parts up to the proper location. I've got a 3" exhaust so that may have been why, or I might be a complete idiot. The one side of the loop part was pushing against the side of the underbody. I forced it on by tightening the bolts. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or if that's how it was supposed to be. I paid $90. I've been happy with my other Spohn parts so I'm not intending to bash them, it could be me being retarded.

LOL, I bought and installed the Jeg's loop for under $40. Works great. Been under my car for over 6 years.

ya, i dont think 48.50 is right, but it was under $45 or $50. All the others from BMR, UMI, Sophn were 100+. Theres no way i would pay that for something that i should of just made myself.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with one of the cheapest loops I kind find.

It seems like most people here are using the lakewood with good results. ( Meaning its fits well).

I've heard some complaints already about the Spohn loop and it's double the price of other comparable loops.

I should make one myself but I have had zero time to work on my car latley.

Thanks for your replies.
