What do you think of Granatelli LCAs?

  • Sponsors (?)


I've been running them for 2 years, over about 20,000 miles. I keep the bushings greased, which is very easy as they have quick connect grease fittings on each bushing housing. Not sure what the other guys problems are. I know a lot of folks on this board love overpaying for $hit at MM, but whatever.
 
Thanks guys! I'll look into some of the other ones. I really like the MM but they are expensive. I'm not running mad HP yet but one day...

I'd rather buy something once than twice like I did with my MAC TB. I ended up getting rid of it right away at a loss for an Accufab. I guess you get what you pay for.

I'm also thinking about pulling my H&R SuperSports out and putting in Voltlands. My drop in the front with the SuperSports is at 2-1/4" right now. Too low.
 
I had a friend absolutely demolish a pair of Granatelli LCA's years ago. He got as far as talking to JR Granatelli, personally and still never got a resolution, except for JR being a complete jerk off on the phone, blaming my friend when it was a ~300 HP H/C/I car on street tires. Even if their quality has improved, JR can still kiss my ass. His customer service skills, or lack thereof are reason alone why I'd never spend a penny on one of his products.

MM was a pioneer with the parts they developed and continue to develop for us Mustang guys. They put the money into the R&D. Lots of new products fail that we never see, that's part of trying new things. They lose tons of money on that. Then they get a few things to work, and after a bit fly-by-night eBay knock offs like Granatelli come along and make half-assed replicas of MM parts.

People like supporting top companies like MM out of gratitude and a desire to continue seeing them turn out new, better products. Cheap asses like you want to save a buck, but you don't consider the consequences. If we don't continue to support these top companies, they'll either move to other platforms that will, or they will close up shop completely.

MM gives out technical help for free. MM stands behind their products and when you call in with a problem they back you up and help you out. MM is at the road courses helping people like me optimize their setups and go faster, asking for nothing in return, even when some of my parts are NOT MM.

You have a problem with Granatelli ****, you get someone on the phone who doesn't know what they're talking about, has never actually worked on or raced a Mustang, only wants your money, and just wants you to go away and not help you solve your issue and replace your parts.

Show me ONE product in Granatelli's line up that was the first of its kind.

That would be JR "blame the customer, not my ****ty, low quality parts" Granatelli.
