Talking Big Thanks to LMR!

Big thanks to Steven, Josh and crew. They are class acts and took care of me in great timing.

Drove it in, in the morning, took it home in the afternoon same day, even got a ride to work after I dropped it off

I had been having crazy rear suspension movements/twisting under power, the car was a handfull to keep on the road or track under power, so I had the guys at LMR chage couple of parts per their recommendations and set it all up to keep the car STRAIGHT and under control

For those that know me, know that this is the first time Ive ever taken the car to a shop, I have a hard time leaving the car in other's hands. I did not have this problem with Josh and Steven. They made me feel at ease and I would not hesitate to take it back to them if needed.


On my drive home I got to try it out a little bit and it feels real good so far. Totally different. Need to put the big tires back on it to get it to hook and TNT it
Hope weather holds out some this weekend, can't wait to beat on this thing

Out of curiousity, what did they change??

Mine feels like I am on a set of tall slicks when you roll into it and I am running 315/35/17's. Very unsettling.

So is this the reason you never really beat on the T/A lately? Glad that is resolved. LMR has worked on some badass cars, I'd have no problem with them working on mine. Hell, I still need to do a sparkplug and wire swap with them. lol (gift cert)

Part of why it hasn't seen much action. On the 347 setup it was nothing like it was before yesterday on the 427, scary ride. I also had some belt/alternator problems...broke a tranny... seems to be all good now.

we did madman outlaw LCA's rod end on both sides, adjustible.

Wolfe drag bar, I didn't want to rely on any rear sway that used bushings.. bushings bend, things move. The Wolfe bar is metal to metal, rod end links, nothing to flex except metal.

Tiago, you should see major improvements in your 60 at the track. Let us know when you put the big tires on and take her out there so we can make any adjustments if needed.

Tony, out of all the people to win, of course it would you. Let me know when you are ready to use that voucher.
