  • Installed LCAs today

    BMR Boxed with the poly/rubber combo. A nice difference in takeoff, alot stiffer feeling. Wasn't that hard to put on, lining up the bushings to the holes was kind of an SOB. Advice to anyone who plans on doing this soon: having both an 18mm regular AND deep socket at the ready is a good idea. Other than that, while the cars is on jackstands, dont forget to jack up the rear a bit before you torque the bolts.

    I give it them a [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] so far. 1LE sway bars up next, probably should have went with those first but oh well.

    I'm thinking about doing these next, how had are the old bolts to get off? When putting on my sway bars I was looking at them and they looked like they would be a big pain to get off.

      Not hard, I strongly recommend taking the wheels off, makes them easier to get to. This guide on installuniversity.com says its optional, but its a real pain if you don't. Just make sure you have an 18mm wrench and the 2 18mm sockets i mentioned above for the nuts and bolts.

        yeah its the easyest thing in the world to do.. literaly 4 bolts.. not including wheels..

        if you are using jack standa take of the wheels.. if you are using a lift its not a big deal to do it w/o taking them off..

        just be sure to torque it all back down right..
