Default LCA's are installed!!!!

Just got my LCA’s installed by Excessive (Larry did a great job as usual!), let me just say this is a great mod, especially for track racing.

Did about 3 hard launches and the car really squat good now, I can feel the rear end hugging the road on take off. Also had some wheel spin but I can definitely tell there is improvement there.

Here is a pic of my new CHS (powerhouse) LCA’s:



Overall I am very happy with the visit, Chris explained to me now my nitrous works, and a bit about my dyno sheet. He also suggested that I get a Steeda panhard bar and bracket. Torey is also working on ordering me some MAC LT’s, GT mid pipes and now I am officially shopping for new mufflers.

Yes Jimp/BlackLX, I will hook you up with my Magnaflow’s when I take them off.

You can do it yourself, but I would get a friend to help you. There is a part where you have to push the axle towards the front of the car to install them and its easier with two people and a lift. I had a shop do mine, they charged me 45 bucks.

Street driving is a little harsher, but thats about it.

rygen- thanks for the update, i don't mind a little tighter ride myself. my car will never see the track but for rough roads or sharp turning the rear of the car felt "soft" to me and I am thinking this may help. i will probably order the bmr's this week and give them a try, new 17" wheels should be here this week as well, this all should make a difference

Scrming and my shop both said not to get adjustable LCA's if this is your daily driver, cause they are noisey as hell. So keep that in mind. You will love the BMR's! I went Powerhouse (LCA's) just cause I trusted Mike, but you cant go wrong with Steeda, CHS, BMR's or PHP's LCA's.

Keep us posted. You will love how the car feels taking off from a red light. Trust me!
