Sweet, really, not made in China, Finally something not made in China. Honestly I was told the total opposite so I feel much better knowing that I can actually get some American parts for my American car.

Ed, thanks for answering my earlier question, is there any reason why h- beams would pose more of a bolt clearence issue than I-beams?

Stick to the I-beams in general it is easier to make them fit (ie better clearance).
