Do the headers yourself, should only take a weekend or a full day at the hobby shop. I did mine in my garage on ramps. I had to take it to the hobby shop to cut that little edge off the k-member to stop the rattling, but other than that it was easy.

the hobby shop is the place on base that has lifts and all the tools you can think of that you can rent. You cut off like a 1/4 inch of the little tab around the kmember where the primaries come down through the bottom of the car on the drivers side. If you look under the car you will see it. I can almost gaurentee if you try and put your finger on your primaries and trace them from the collector to the head, you'll notice the part I'm talking about. With my ARH's, the clearance was maybe a 1/8". So it only rattled when I took off hard from a stop, but enough to **** me off. I hit it with a cutting torch and solved the problem in about 5 minutes. You only need to remove a very small amount.

yes, because its all about track times...
let's just ignore the whole tadbit of what shocks and springs are really meant for.. (i.e. dampening, ride comfort, cornering, ect ect)

i have to find the lighter pic ihave in a print out thats the same pic but on my digital camera. Also have a shot from the same run from the track photo guy.

calif- car rides perfect on the street better then stock. Handles pretty well. Turns like stock but i dont have my front sway bar in. Handling is overrated, its an auto car you dont auto x car
