Thanks!

Ok all, got an update. Just got off the phone with Torie at Excessive, he said he can hook me up with an install date of the 25th, so I'm pretty pumped up. Actually got to talk to him about my tune, and some other questions I had which pretty much tied in to what Justin told me, so thank you both.

After this, I have done everything I can before going to the track. Well, there is that new TB that just came out, but I think I will wait.

I'm itching for some track time. I havent even sprayed yet. I am forcing myself to wait for the track. Oh well.

I'll try to get more pics this time and keep you updated.

why did you choose CHE over BMR? did you hear some great testimonial or something? what sealed the deal? not bashing your choice or anything, just curious.

Well, Jimp and I discussed this in some level of detail, and he suggested them. I liked the fact that they were proven on the new 4.0's by Powerhouse411 and everyone knows they beat up that car. I also like how they come with a emergency brake retainer vs. fabbing up something. My shop said they look good as well. In the end, it was hard to narrow it down because all the ones I looked at seemed about the same.

Yea, either did I till Jimp showed me these. Funny thing is I call Excessive up saying, hey, I bought LCA's, and they are like, we know. They said they saw the post, LOL. Excessive did say it was cool that they came with this feature. I will post results for sure.

I have no clue, but Excessive prefers the Steeda's and they said with those, they have to fab something up and do tie wrap to set it up. They said it is not an issue, just that for the ebrake, they liked this solution better.

I think you are right, don't know. I can ask Excessive if you like.

Also, with the bushings they come with, you don't have to grease them. And they are squeak free, at least that's what the website says. We'll see.

And to be honest, Chris at Excessive said they were all good as long as you stick with a main brand. I think the only brand he didn't know about was MMR. I just really liked the fact that these have been tested by Powerhouse.

You can count on it!! I never had LCA's before but will provide a full report. I know Scrming told me to go with fixed LCA's vs. adjustables, cause the fixed ones don't squeak. My car makes enough noise as it is.
