Default LCA'S AND LINE LOCK INSTALLED

Got the BMR Lca's and SLP line lock installed yesterday, with a ton of help from Simon1 (he did about most of the work). Noticed a big difference in traction with the lca's but I do still break loose in second but not as often. The line lock works get, I will post a video soon. If any one is interested in seeing pic's I can take some of the completed install, didn't take any during, but we still need to install the line lock on Simon1's car.

The lca's and relocation brackets were easy, the line lock was easy with the exception of the solenoid, but that only added but 30-45 minutes to the install.

To me the LCA's alone did nothing compared to the addition of the bigger rear sway bar+LCA's. My sway bar was on backorder when I put my LCA's on and though there was a difference, I put the sway bar on and it was a completely different animal.

Is this the adjustable rear sway bar with beefed up end links? I have heard about the Eibach verion being used on our cars with great results. This WILL be my next mod for my suspension. Maybe I will get by the time we do the line lock? Probably not.

I'm going to post our little race in the S/S section.

Make sure you chime in with your excuses!!!!

Ok ok not making excuses your car is just at little faster, but that is due to the fact you probably 50lbs less than I do!

I was wondering how you made out on the line locks. The solenoid is a pita, I hope the suggestion of an angle drill helped.

The line locks are fun aren't they?

Any ABS problems with the SLP locks?

The solenoid was the hardest part by far. Had to drill from the outside of the fender well. We had the angle drill bit but it busted. But other than the solnoid it was pretty easy. The lines fit good no leaks, and as far as how it worked?? It fricking worked great! I am buying stock in BFG tomorrow!

No problems with the ABS, I shoud have a video by the end of the week. Front tires hold like they are glued to the ground.

OK good to know... I've run locks on other cars but just hadn't done them on this one yet until I heard some more feedback about how they do with the ABS system...

I have read most systems do well with the ABS on our cars from any of the big aftermarket companies. Sactown and Simon1 congrats and i look forward to watching the video! J
