Default Finally got installed

A couple weekends ago me and pops tried getting the new MM lca's on and Magnaflow cat-back with Magnpacks to no headway. Bolts were on GOOD! So had to bite the bullet and have shop install and glad I did took them about 8 hours to get installed. They said everything was a PITA getting out! They only charged me 5 hours labor though THANK GOD!!!!!! Needless to say the wait was worth it! The exhaust sounds great even with stock h. Nice deep growl that I was hoping for. As far as the lca's I see what Jazzer and most have been talking about. They really keep the tire down even at WOT. Very nice additions for my first non-cosmetic mods. Have 4.10's and tuner getting shipped as you are reading this along with a K&N drop-in air filter. These are getting installed on the 30th. Can't wait! Starting to feel like a whole new car.

Im dancing around the issue of gears or suspension atm. I wish i could get both but im doing the cobra upgrade because thats a need due to my brakes are just about shot. Then like you said i have other things my money has to go to besides my car. Wish that wasn't the case though. Next year though im thinking for sure

Funny you say that cause seriously I was debating between what I went with and dropping it and getting CC plates installed.....needless to say I think I went the right direction, I hope!!!!!!

Gears are by far the best mod you can put on a New Edge GT.. I had 373's was impressed with them but after I rode in a buddys car with 410's I ordered the 410's the next day.. I paid 300 bucks to install mine. I also bought the Royal Purple gear oil. I figured if I was going to do it I would use the best thing out there. Good choice on gears BTW OP..
