Default Question about LCA's

I got a set of lca's from brenspeed with my vortech purchase due to a little mix up. But anywho, I was wondering if I can just install these themselves? I have no other suspension mods...thoughts?

Yes you can install them yourself. I had the BMR ones when I had my 07 gt. They make a huge difference.

Very simple mod to install as its 4 bolts and should only take about 30-45 min. with basic hand tools including a torque wrench.

Here's the TB sticky I followed that worked great! Although this is for the Steeda Billet LCAs, the basic install steps are the same.

Ok I was not too worried about install anyways. So I don't have to do springs or anything with them? You can just do lca's by themselves?

Yes, just the lcas. It would help if you had a friend to help incase the axle moves when you take them off. He can use a prybar to move the axle so the holes will line up to replace the bolt. By the way, remove and install one at a time.

Ok sweet. Ill get them installed probably next weekend.

What would you recommend next for suspension?

Not really wanting to go lower because of the places I go clearance is an issue.

Shocks and struts. I have Tokico D-specs and love them. You can adjust the firmness for the ride comfort you want.
