Re: [DML] Upgraded Front Suspension

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Marc and I had a long conversation in person in the hotel bar at FFT'11. I got the distinct impression then that he did not like Ed Uding's LCA brackets very much. The message below was just one of the many objections he raised at that time.

As I told Marc then, there is no problem with the swaybar and Ed brackets. This is what my swaybar mounts looked like 2,000 miles after installation:

Clearly still firmly attached to the crumple extension.


Time permitting I will jack the car up and snap some pics in the daylight tomorrow of their 3,000 mile condition -- again, still firmly attached to the crumple extension.

Ed has sold enough brackets over the years to lay to rest any concern about their compatibility with swaybar operation.
