I need to try with mine.

Well I have a charger on it right now and it says it is taking a charge, it is a year old 'smart' charger and seems to be working with the optima just fine. What you described is how Optima recommends bringing the battery back from the dead if you have an older style charger.

Yep, TOTALLY acceptable for a bolt-on performance part............NOT. STILL hits at full droop on stock struts, but my suspension limits droop enough to clear.

Make sure to fill out the lifetime warranty card and include pictures of the installation problems.. maybe they will revise it

Edit: Does this mean you came up with an acceptable way to attach the swaybar endlinks to those adjustable LCA's? Care to share :D?

Nope, AWS line bursting forwarded my time table, and next races are too close to keep R&Ding it. Running stock LCA's until after Road America, then I'll make a decision whether to try and get it done before NG or hold off until season ends.

It's taking a piss, lol

Cut off about a 1/2" from the end and slid it back on. This will do for now.
Bout time for new hoses

A charger alone wasn't enough for mine. It discharged over 2 days after charging for several....

Probably won't be able to make that one, that weekend is already booked unless something frees up.

I'm not so sure I should really be trying to save mine. It's nearly 6 years old (mfg date is 6/06) I've abused it for most of those years, letting it sit in the car for long periods of time without driving it. I'm getting it to take a charge but i'm unsure how long it will last. I drive my car maybe once a month and normally have to have a trickle charger/maintainer on it. My Costco battery was only $65 plus tax and a core charge.

That's a good deal on the new battery....

Yeah it's a screaming deal but at the same time I'd like to spend the money on something different too.
