i have hookers which are essentially the same thing... it took me about a 5 days working between 1-3 hours. it wouldnt have taken as long if i knew what i know now. I was trying to get away with getting them in without cutting the K-member. after about 15 min of cutting the K-member it took about another hour and i was on the road. you can do it on jack stands... it will just be a pain in the ***.

yup i have an arctic white T/A and a guy litterally down the street has a nasty arctic white WS6 so i didnt know if it was you.... but the drill mod was a good idea when i was replacing my master cylinder and it made a %100 difference. i would recomend doing it to anyone... all you have to do is take the line from your master cylinder and drill out the restriction at the end of the line... takes all of an hour.
