Congrats, I just got mine back on the road after almost 2 years. My only question would be....will the Spec 2+ hold the power you will be making?? might need an upgrade there.

I loved the stage 1 I had put on my old 97Z so I wanted to go with them again. It feels great so far but I am still breaking it in. If i end up not happy with it I will probably go with a textralia.

1.8 was the stock size and I wanted to stay with that could not go to a bigger size due to the close PVC and did not see any reason to go to a smaller size rocker. Thanks.

Beautiful car. 1.7 was stock size so if you are 1.8's you might have issues with those LSK lobes on the MS4.

Edit: You will have issues on MS4

car looks great but you should get a different tire size to help fill in that fender well, those look a bit to small.
