I went with Tein S-techs. I don't have them on yet, so can't tell you much about them, but seems to be a pretty popular choice.

Last weekend before the meet... anybody still need installs done?
I'm free Saturday 3.26 and/or Sunday 3.27...
My place is avail, but my 2 car garage is long-ways, not side by side.
Might be too narrow for installs... anybody else's place avail?

Long Story short it was about MPG. Sounds dumb but I was getting around 10-11 mpg everywhere , then suddenly it stopped and got better. I dont know wtf happened but its fixed now. Im now getting about 15mpg+ all city but I was scratching my head before. It just didnt make sense to be getting 10mpg with my new engine, BHR ignition & Midpipe, and Jeff's tunes...

Sigh...
