Does anyone have experience with LCA stiffening plates?

I have made my own and used the ones that Mancini sells (I bought a few sets from the manufacturer). There is something that should be done before installing the plates. A lot of LCAs have too much slop at the torsion bar socket. The two halves of the LCA need to be brought closer together. The best way to accomplish this is to cut/drill (it depends on the attachment method) the LCA bumper plate off one side of the LCA and clamping the two halves together closer while still allowing the socket to rotate.

I do this to every LCA that I rebuild for no extra charge ($35/arm which includes hot tank, bead blast, and paint; bushings extra). I will also install the stiffening plates that I provide for another $30/pair
