It means Noise, Vibration and Harshness.

There is a little more noise but no vibration or harshness. The car felt a little tight at first but now that i'm used to it, it feels like it turns easier with those on there, like I turn the wheel less, I can't really explain it.

Like everything else with these cars it's opinion but these keep my ride running stait at WOT. When I talked to you about launching at 1800rpm and you said that was a good number I agree. At 1800 with these LCA's I launched and the tail kicked maybe a couple of inches to the left but came back very quick, after that it was gone.

I have experimented a little and got the number up to 2500 rpm, but will bring it back down to 1800. I can't seem to keep the tires to grip enough with the 4.10s and street tires (DRs coming next season unfortunantly), but I noticed when I launch a little lower it does a whole lot better than just giving it hell, though with the second option I tend to trap a little bit higher.. nothing too much, maybe a mph or two faster. 108 was the highest mph so far..

Only ones I use and I've driven on GT-500, BMR's and JHR on my own personal car and the C.H.E are THE best
