I just checked them out on Summits site. Those look great and a hell of a lot easier to put on vs. the clips w/ teh Stage 8's. I'll be ordering a set when I go to put my Kooks on

Breslins are much easier to work with than stage 8's. On the other hand, I've seen first hand that the Breslins can and do break if they are over torqued in the slightest.

I think the initial trouble putting on the bolts would be worth it over having to retighten header bolts at scheduled/unscheduled intervals.

stage 8 are good but i would go with the breslins. the only thing you have to be careful about is to not over tighten the inside bolt. if you do you run the risk of not being able to get it back out.
