I had my car tuned by John at LHT over in Tampa on Tuesday and couldn't be happier. Totally worth the 4 hour trip each way and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. It's nearly impossible to find trustworthy shops around here, so dealing with John was a great experience to say the least. He was even nice enough to knock a couple bucks off the originally quoted tuning price to help pay for my gas, which I thought was really nice of him.

After posting about my experience in the Forced Induction forum, John (CRVRX) replied and told me to message him my address so he could send me a free LHT Master Cylinder Brace. The awesome customer service doesn't stop there...I figured since he's nice enough to do this, I should buy an LHT battery tie-down from him, since I've been wanting to replace my nasty looking stock one anyways. Nope, still wouldn't take any money from me. John sent me both products free of charge and told me he appreciates my business. Now that is outstanding customer service.

Anyways, this was just yesterday, and at around 12:30PM today, UPS delivered both items to my doorstep. I'll let the photos do the talking for a little bit here...













As you can see from the photos, quality and finish are outstanding. On to the install...


Installing the MC brace was cake. Took all of 2 minutes to remove both strut tower nuts, mount the brace, tighten the nuts, extend the threaded bolt and tighten a nut. Simple.






Battery tie down was also an easy install. I had to measure and cut the two factory threaded rods down a little bit, which only took a couple minutes with a dremel. The final result looks 100x better.




And an overall engine bay shot with both parts installed...




Took the car for a quick drive with a few hard stops afterwards, and I can definitely tell a big difference in braking response and pedal feel. On top of that, I don't have to look at my gross, corroded factory battery tie down anymore

I've had some good experiences with shops, and a LOT of bad experiences, so I'm pretty picky. But I'll definitely be doing business with LHT again in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for looking!

I'm extremely lucky to have LHT as my shop local to me (less than 15mins away), everything they do is top notch. As a frequent customer of theirs, it makes me feel great knowing that they treat others awesome as well. Very proud to say they work on my car.

I have watched a few of their yourube videos just a few days ago. They definitely look like a good shop to go to.

Thanks so much for the post Matt.

Most folks don't know but we opened in 1997 and have stayed true since day 1 .We do this because we love it, I only sell products that I use myself ( Not the ones with the best Margins) and treat people and their cars with respect.I understand these are peoples pride and joy and in a lot of case their dream build. We gets a lot of cars shipping from other States and countries as they know and trust what we do and know we'll give our 100%.

Thanks for the kind words guys, it really means alot.

I would also like to thank John @ LHT for my master cylinder brace as well. i installed this last week and let me tell you as soon as i got in the car and pressed the brake pedal it was a huge night and day difference. While driving the car now as soon as you go to tap the pedal you feel the brakes bite, there is no more soft top pedal feel it is nice and hard. Def worth doing. I also went out and did a few hard stops and it feels great!

Perhaps my car has little firewall flex or I don't brake that hard but I really can't feel much if any difference. It's staying on the car, though.

One of the biggest things I miss since leaving Florida back in 2008 is having quick easy access to LHT. I had been going there for years for engine swaps and axles and all sorts and John was always courteous, quick and clean. This was back in the day when H-T was for techs- Bert-O, Neil etc. Super awesome shop
