also, make sure you route it right through the K member, my brother broke like 4 in the span of a year due to it binding because it wasnt routed right, we finially copied mine, except he got a BBK, and the firewall mount was soft rubber, and was getting sucked through the firewall, ****ty design

i would recommend going with a OEM cable. they are thicker than aftermarket cables.

yeah this seems to be the bullet-proof combo

- frrp heavy duty cable
- steeda double hook quadrant
- steeda firewall adjuster

i got the summit kit with adjustable cable, quadrant, and firewall adjuster. it was like $120 overnight shipped (i needed it asap).

install was smooth and clutch feels good
