Default Just installed UMI adjustable phb/lca's/relo brackets

And why the f didn't I do it sooner?! I was worried that maybe I'd spend the money and the parts would just give me peace of mind...whatever, they work! Car definately feels more solid, in a good way. The ride isn't harsh at all, no squeaks or noise what so ever. And traction is a beautiful thing (which was mostly helped by getting new tires, Fuzion's to be exact but thats another story). Im pumped that my car is finally coming together rather than just saying I have the power, I can actually use it.

FYI, I used installuniversity's instructions which were rather lengthy but still got the job done. If you haven't done these mods yet...DO IT. Done.

That's exactly why the mods you did are the ones I recommend to be done first after exhaust of course.

Exactly! I was like most ppl on here...all excited to make the car faster/louder and chose to ignore the fact that just cuz your tires spin fast doesn't mean the car is going anywhere . But next time I start doing this, if ever, it will be suspension first.

I still gotta get shocks so I can install my Strano springs, pretty pumped for that.

My 10 bolt is doing fine so far, but I dont launch it ever. 9", or 8.8 will be coming in the next few months.

Which LCAs did you go with? The single-adjustable poly/rod ones? Those are the ones I plan on getting sometime in the near future.

No need, i got it from a sponsor here. Bob at exotic preformance plus. You'll find a thread in the gears and axles section with all the options. I went with a 4 channel to keep the ABS and TCS and upgraded to the aluminum center section. Truetrac, 31 spline axles and 4.11 gear. $2655 shipped for the rear and got a PST driveshaft..was $389
