If you want the how-to with some nice pics I can send it to ya.

Please do... I'm starting to think a couple bushing/mount changes will firm things up a bit without the jarring with a complete swap.. Sway Bars should be in my horizon within the next 6 months after AGX's are installed.. Hopefully this strut set will be built with more leeway for install W/O clunks or other noises forming...

No one ever answered me when i posted this before.

Are there any chances of us getting a group buy together so we can get a better price??

I was just thinking that it seems like there are alot of people who are going to get them right when they come out. So what is the point of all of those people buying them right when they come and and THEN having a group buy after that.

Becuase thats just the way it works.

I havent talked to them in a bit....I would guess late summer as of right now..hopefully before fall though. I want them without question BUT I have been doing other lil stuff to the car so I havent been thinking about them much lately. When I buy them, they will be sitting around anyway because the plan right now is doing them at the same as the Ecotec swap...BTW I am trying to come up with a name for my car after the swap...it being a GT and SC/T with an Eco and a 5 speed....any ideas???

I won't call myself Spykiller just yet....my first goal is to get that baby in the car...then worry about making it fast. For the first couple of months she is gonna be a POOCH....a lower compression 2.2 Ecotec with no forced induction and a Spec stage 3 clutch. After everything is "broken in"..then and only then will a snail make its home underneath my hood.

cheaper than you realize... it's an OEM swap, no fancy smoke and mirrors to it at all.
