Just installed mine last friday and I love it. So much nicer than stock and the price is excellent. I don't know yet myself, but i've read that they hold up pretty good at the track too.

see, their site quoted me $500, for the same thing, minus the allignment tool, how much did they want for shipping? cuz they wanted $440 for the parts, $20-25 for shipping, and about $35 of it was tax since i am in tx

p.s., sorry to the o.p. for the hijack, i just didnt see a need to start a whole new thread, especially since its info you could use as well

Shipping I believe was $20-$25 but I didn't have to pay sales tax since i'm in Utah. Did you order new flywheel bolts too? I didn't get new ones, i'm just trying to think of why it would be more...

I'm having mine put in today. I got it from SDPC for $440 shipped to CA. Shipping was about $16, and i didn't get the alignment tool. To those who have this kit installed, did you have to get it zero balanced, or did you just have it bolted straight in? I just don't want a balance issue when i go to start it up...

Its already zero balanced.. i just bolted it in... no problems at all. I re-used all the bolts, just made sure they were torqued properly and used RED loctite.
