Welcome to CL.... Just wondering, since you already dropped the car, installed camber kit, have you had any problems with the AWD vibration everybody else seems to have?

I get wobbles from like 0-10 mph. then gone.

I get vibrations but I think my tires are bad. I know 1 of them is bald causing the rotational difference and possibly the vibrations. I would definitely like to switch tires soon and see if it helps. It

its not bad though. bareable.

also wanted to make note that the vibrations weren't there before I put the camber kit and got an alignment.

I skipped over this question LOL.... I think I would have died If I used 1/0 mil-spec wires LOL... I assume they're pretty damn expensive, but no... I ordered 50ft of 1/0 knukonceptz CCA wires. They're decently priced, oversized to meet my electrical needs, and I still came out paying for all the parts to go with it at around $200. It's a bit much IMO for wire, but meh.... best prices I could find at the time.

The price of copper these days doesn't surprise me anymore.

A tow hitch on a GS :'( lol I was joking with the salesman when I bought my car about not being able to tow with it and he said "you would be surprised what I've seen tow hitches on" as we were sitting 5ft away from an LFA 😍

So, speaking of LFAs, a buddy of mine, who lives about 8 blocks from me, saw a LFA roll through his neighborhood today.. I'm on a mission to find out who it is... I'm sure I'll see it sooner or later, that car is going to be hard to miss...

LOL...... Makes me wonder, of the few hundred LFA's out there, are there any of them crazy enough to hook up a tow hitch to THAT?

And yes.... Price of copper's gone NUTS! it's $3.29+ a ft for OFC (oxygen free copper), the CCA I bought (copper clad aluminum) was 1.70ish. The difference was like 125ish amps of current against each other.... But I don't think I'll be exceeding 250amps (current wire's rating) on my car. The alternator alone is rated at 240a.

yeah mil-spec wires are pretty expensive. I mean 12 wires for 12 ft each cost me a total of 200. the clip itself for my quick disconnect is like 2.50 lol.

haha I can imagine someone towing with an LFA. they would be driving super slow tho due to the weight to power ratio.
