Can you do one side at a time or do you have to lift the engine out? Is there a write up? LOL

The car feels a lot more crisp and tight upon downshifting and launching. I felt a big difference the first time I pulled out of a parking lot.

I get vibrations in the car at 750-850 rpms. I stopped noticing them after 2 weeks. They aren't bad at all.

whoever told you that is stupid. I get minimal vibration at idle, even with my "DONKEY DICK" MS4 and get sliiiiiiiight vibrations around 2800-3100 which is where my cam starts to make power.

you really grow used to it and learn to ignore it. Its about the same as the poly cars ive ridden in. I vote solids

The solids are very manageable. Like they said, there are some vibes right off idle but it really isn't that bad. It feels so much more crisp so that makes it worthwhile in my book.

Yep. Mine is a street car and I drive it all the time. They aren't as bad as some make them sound.

Another vote for the Spohn's here. I'll have to agree, whoever is saying don't put solids on a street car has never been in a car with solids. I think they made the car feel a thousand times better than anything else I've done. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.
