Default LPW girdle or Mac? Does it make a difference?

I can get the LPW girdle for about $30 cheaper. Is it of the same quality as MAC. I did a search on here and only 2 threads came up for LPW, whcih has me worried.

Orange---I don't race the car, never launch it hard on the street either, it's my DD. Car has 60k miles on it and by spring it will have about 390-400 at the wheels. I'm just looking for something to help take the load off and strengthen it a little. Is it a good idea to grab one for some re-enforcement back there?

if you dont race it just go with your stock cover unless you want one just to have it.


its hard launches that kill these rears so if you dont race it at all theres no reason to worry.

It seems the more I read I'm finding out that people are having problems with it rubbing the stock rear swaybar.

I have the LPW cover. Yeah it rubs a bit from the sway bar but it's better than the stock cover and it's eiser to change the gear fluid without having a mess.
