Brian,

Let me know how you like the X2. It is a toss up between this and the X3 for me. Are you getting the kit form with everything or using your current pushrods and springs? Don

Interesting. Why the 921's? I thought the 918's were good enough. Are the pushrods hardened? Do they use the stock length? I have read where a little longer rod will get rid of some of the lifter noise (not sure on this) What are you going to do with the 04 springs you just put in? Let me know the numbers when you are done. Don

Nah... 918's aren't enough... the 921's are top of the line double springs. The pushrods are hardened units and I belive they're larger b/c the base circle of the am is smaller. I'll sell the '04 springs... they were only $55 new and have been in the car 5000 miles.
