I'm going to a shop to get it installed.
However after reading through the directions a bunch of times i've come to the conclusion that it really isn't all that complex.
Lacking the tools and space to do it i've decided this was the way to go though. Much respect to those who do it themselves.

Big recommendation from Beltfed on this one. Plus just from asking among friends on the island everyone who's heard of them knows how good they are.

Just picked up some more stuff today:
Also the Rotora BBK and rear rotors/pads should be here in time for the install.
Yeah that was this one:
They've done some pretty badass installs over there.

As far as the Watter Wetter goes, as you know during the S/C install the radiator has to be drained so i picked up a bottle and i'll add in some cap fulls.
Reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. Its pretty cheap and i've heard good things outside and inside this forum about it.

As soon as you get the SC on, give us the details. Are you going with the HBP ?

Plenty of 93-94 octane to go around here.
