So finally, after purchasing my MM Heavy Duty LCA almost 4 months ago, I got them installed.
I have tried installing these LCA twice without success. The main problem was the stock LCA, the bolts were seized making it impossible to remove.
Dropped it off at the garage this morning at 9am, got it back at 7pm, driver side took 3 hours to do, passenger side, 2 hours. The mechanic told me it was a bitch to get them out but was kind enough not to charge me crazy labour. Cost was around 170$USD
So finally took the car for a drive, here are the things I noticed:
- I was expecting more road noise dude to polyurethane bushings and the spherical bearing, but there isn't any more road noise. No popping or creaking. There might be this slight, very slight vibration that you feel in your bum, but that could be our roads here(Quebec is known for awful roads)
- The car seems smoother on the road and highway
- Corners, this is where you really feel it. Take a corner hard, tires screeching but the rear stays put, no more crazy swinging action or lateral movement while turning. Also, when powersliding, there is much more control on the rear of the car, more tight it seems.
- Lauching, well, since I just got the car, I haven't been to the track yet. The only launch I did was a a small street, 1-2 shift seems to have much less tire spins. Hopefully this will translate into lower 60ft times.
Anyone else experienced the same feeling?
My current mods are:
- VT N/A Stage 1 Cams
- K&N FIPK2
- Mac Prochamber O/R
- Magnaflow Catback
- BBK 75mm Throttle Body
- Diablosport Predator
- GMS Upper Intake Plenum
- Steeda U/D Pulleys
- FRPP 3.73 Gears
- Bullitt Suspension Kit (Shocks, struts & swaybars)
- Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors
- Maximum Motorsports Heavy Duty Lower Control Arms
- SVT Cobra Front Brakes
- Street tires (Exclaim UHP)

I suppose to be getting MM LCA's put on my car right now, but the shop e-mailed me and said that one of the LCA's has a broken eyelet where it mounts to the car itself. Just a minor thing to take care of when I get back to the States 
,i'm from Quebec too!!!
