They aren't much bigger than the stock ones but definitely feel a lot more sturdy.. there's plenty of room for the return line and my wastegate dump tube isn't as close as it was before either. It took me less than 2 hours to do it myself. The car feels more smooth on take off than it did before, probably because water had gotten in the boot where the clamp was gone lol. They also come with new axle nuts.

You don't have to. just catch the little bit that drips out in a clean drain pan and pour it back in. You could drain it into a clean pan before if you wanted as well I suppose and just fill it back up when you're done or get new fluid while you're at it.

I know the sleeves are supposed to be good till 450 on the genII i think.
I figure out my handling issues. So when you switch to FE5 front struts you NEED FE5 endlinks. FE1 endlinks are 11.80" center to center. FE5 endlinks are 9.86" center to center. The swaybar itself is the same minus the Diameter. So basically i may as well not even have my endlinks on cause they arent doing anything. Going to pick the FE5 ones up in a little bit and hopefully thats most of my issue.

So just got back from picking up the car. ZZp stage 1 axels in, Tune swaped over to hpt, boost up to 15psi for now. Didn't get on the dyno, but its flowing just a smidge under 39lbs/min over the MAF!!!!!!! I'd say that pretty damn close to 400whp Discussed the near future with Dave, after tires/wheels/bearings/brakes installed, time for 20+ psi race gas tune.
