well they say stock is best, but when I tried putting a stock cable on my car with a FWA and New Quadrant it didnt engage, So ive been running adjustables ever since, what kind of cables are you running?

the stock cable will not go on my car to short, dont ask me why i dunno i have bought 2 different brands and both about 2 inches short. if these high performance cables are siezing up than that would tell me a stock cable life would be alot shorter
