    try and find the 1/4 turn caps, the ones that thread on are very easy to cross thread and if you dont keep them lubed they can seize on

    their best bet was to call vortex. i did not care for the vortex model, you need to keep the threads greased or it will cross on you. i'm going to contact pp tuning and i'll post rhe results.

    That looks like the one for the 99-03. Can you you get the 1/4 turn for the 04, Ed?. I was at TAW Thursday to pick up a pair of FF brembos and Jolene said they never had caps for the 04.

    That's the one I have. Mine came in a Goodridge box. I think it came through Options Italia which is part of LP USA.
