A road that I used to only be comfortable at most at 50 I took at 70 with no problems and it felt perfect throughout. 25 dollars very well spent.

lol, there was some stupid bracket in the way on petes car installing it and it was a pain. the bolts were rusty and stucked.

also, we found 3 other ones in the yard and they were ALL impossible to get off because of corrosion or just ridiculousness. The one we bought was the only one I could get off

I bought mine from Paul, and he told me to use WD40 for the bolts. Worked great!

We ended up letting it sit for about 30 with the WD40 on it

but the ones on petes car we like.. got em to move, and then they got tight, bec of the rust. we also had trouble using the ratchet at all because it kept hitting the coil springs. we ended up elaving the ratched in one place and holding it still and using vice grips to turn the clip on the inside a bunch fo times to get the bolt off. installing was much easier

the ones that didnt work in the yard tho... couldnt even budge em

Like Arin said, it was a pain in the butt to get those brackets off. After they were gone, the installation was more than simple...

Hopefully. There shouldn't be any problems, but I'll let everyone know how it turns out when it gets here.

I wish mine was... Grr... And the clutch feel is horrible with this new clutch. Some days I strain my leg to get it to the ground, and other days it feels like a strong wind could... Grr...
