Default STS Rear mount

I found this kit complete with everything for $1100. My question is should I get it? What am I looking at for install on it and what kind of numbers is everyone seeing?

If you can fix the oil issue, sounds like a great deal. They claim that you can do most of the work yourself, and have seen plenty of 500+rwhp STS cars.

Is there a known oil issue? What would be some good supporting mods for the kit? Id be starting on a bone stock LS1 out of an 01 trans am. Pardon my ignorance but Ive never messed around with the turbo side of things.

If you decide it's more trouble than you want to tackle I'll take it and throw you a $100 finders fee. PM me if so.
