Is it just me or can't the weekend get here fast enough ?
It was great catching up with you guys

Bill those LCA look very nice!!

I wonder if its too late to put this on my X-mas list

Those LCAs look top notch Bill. I would expect that from a Steeda piece though.

Me? I got black rims no black car if that was directed towards me. Lol, I got Redfire with black accents all around. After I get down browsing through the site for a few I'll get on washing my car and get some pictures. I haven't posted since I bought rims back in May .

Yeah problem solved with the rotor issue. That same night I just dismantaled the entire car again to clean off all the paint on the rotor surface and brake pads. Now I'm just waiting for the pads to mate with the new rotors. But its a nice improvement over stock for sure.

Perfect! I just "made-my-own" **** combo. I'll deff be taking one of those *****. Black cue ball, white 5spd inlay, and polished shaft. Wouldn't have it any other way. Depending on how nice christmas is to me I'll have to wait till after the Holidays to be able to get it. Oh well. Thanks for the link!

Yeah, I have been there many times. I'm sure I can manage it. It all seems really straight forward and even more so with your entire write-up. I'll deff have a copy printed for questions for durning the install.




Well, I'm off to have a very relaxing day. Pictures later this evening

I'm guessing that the zip tie is holding the rear spacer/washers onto the black bushing.
Grease goes on the outside edge/surface of bushings. Picture the bushing being able to pivot up and down against the spacer/washer (which is stationary).
The extra 2 steel washers packaged goes on the front outboard side, also gets greased.

Sooo... these are in fact maintenance free LCA's, just as long as there's sufficient grease on the bushing surfaces.

Thanks George!

I think someone is getting the Z06 bug after lastnight.

Typical BS at S197forum. Thats why I truly avoid the site and forums. And please don't get me fired up about how I really feel about S197forum, it would get ugly in a hurry. If you think GMS got me wound up, S197forum would take me ballistic lol

Yeah I rarely post there. I'll skim through it a couple times a week but that's it. I can't believe they're making such a fuss. Then to top it off Sypder starts his own thread to toot his own horn. That's the last time I post anything there. That site and ModFords are the worst which is why I stick to TMS and MustangForums.

I really hope Shaftmasters becomes a Supporting vendor there so they'll all shut up. After seeing Sypder's true colors I'm glad I didn't buy from them. I've never seen Brent or Doug bash each other. So even though I got my tunes from Doug I have nothing against Brent and bought my Pypes H and other stuff from him.

BTW-I'm sure these comments will end up over their under a thread labeled "Douchbag from TMS".

Skip past the write-up? That's the best part of the thread!

I never signed up at S197F, it's all the same guys everywhere. I'm active on 3 Forums (TMS, MF and 4.0C) and that's enough. TMS is my favorite, with the language filters in place, it just seems like its more of a mature forum compared to the others out there.


On a lighter note, got 2 funny Mustang pics e-mailed to me..

LOL I'm working the angle on a package deal: clutch, alum flywheel, and alum driveshaft. But at any rate, not until spring- being as I haven't driven the car in about 2 weeks.

..
+ 100

I did sign up on the S197 forum but rarely even venture over there. After the really bad treatment of Phil just because he posted his experience I got the jist of that site. Now this. I don't have the patience for that type of crap, so spyder lost a potential customer.

I was already looking at the SM 3.5 DS and will likely go ahead and purchase it.

Jonathan.... it has been too long since you posted pics, I thought your car was black
