took about 4 hours, and tightens up the front end nicely!

Shittiest pics in the world, but they're all I have lol.

Can I make a recommendation on LCA, I would change the bushings to poly ones. They will last you longer than those and the ride difference is much better.

- Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:21 pm #358792 just make sure you torque those LCA's down when there is load.

lower the car and on some wood so that the all the weight is down, then go under and torque them.

I believe these are poly ones. If not, I'll replace them when these wear out :thumb:

Here are some pics of my car as well as my girlfriend's tC with some random other cars sprinkled in. Enjoy! :D 8)

Damn man I was lookin' for ya! :cry:
Yeah it was pretty fun. Would have sucked for you to drive up here though. It was storming like crazy in the morning.
Making the 45 minute drive to Green Cove Springs was really tough for me, I kept hydro-planing and couldnt see
anything because of how hard the rain was coming down. It cleared up around 11 and got sunny and hot.
Good ol' Florida lol.

I've got a thing or two coming in the mail soon, so keep your eyes on this thread! :hehe: :wink:
stay tuned.
