Default No maggie for now

Called LM about the maggies for 98-02 Fbodys. It sounds like a lot of work ,I was quoted $1200 to install it by a local SC installer. I just didnt like the idea of adding spacers to the K frame and its a speed density tune so the cali ***** might not like that. Maybe later. So instead i bought this:
2008 honda CBR600rr

yes spacers are provided. It raises the body from the k member much like a body lift for a truck. You'll never see it, or notice it once they are in.

in cali, if u mod the car regardless of carb legal or not they can still give u ****. california state law clearly states that you cannot modify your vehicle. then another law states only modifications that are approved by CARB are allowed. so its very contradicting. if they wanted to harass you they will harass you, plain and simple.

I have 10k miles on mine. The only issue I had after spacing the k-member was my AC belt rubbing the sway bar. I spaced the sway bar too and problem solved.

I have almost 7k on mine and no issues either. I also had to space the sway bar after ruining an a/c belt and the pulleys. No problems after that, and I believe that the sway bar spacers are now included in the kit as well.

I took the sway bar clamps to a buddy of mine who is a machinest. Told him what I needed and that is what I ended up with. Worked great.
