I have MR coils and they've been great for the past year/20k miles. Probably not the highest quality parts but I don't think it matters that much with our cars. OP, how much did you pay for the header?

Streets? Or ez streets? I was looking into them because I want a drop that won't be harsh... I assume you can adjust them too be pretty plush on the softest setting? Assuming the spring rates aren't insane.

I paid $151 shipped from ebay. I haven't installed it yet. After researching about the gaskets, I'm looking to replace them before I install. Having a little trouble finding the correct gaskets, but I'm still looking.

I also want to try this, which I already purchased

I'm also trying this.

I'm also studying the diy for the trans cooler. Installing both these items together.

I got the ez streets. I think the only difference is more ways of damper adjustability and the spring rates. The ez streets are pretty soft even on the stiffer dampening settings. Slightly stiffer than stock, but with the lowered center of gravity it definitely improves handling.

Hmmm are you sure the paint will adhere to the SS? I also just did a tranny cooler and have been very happy with it. Enjoy.

The internal exhaust coating spray sticks well to the header. When I saw how it sticks to the interior of the piping, I decided to test spray on the outside. Turned out pretty good. Yeah, I should have covered the name plate with tape.

I'm still waiting for the gaskets to come from summitracing.

Being $200 less than the DC Sports header, this is a good price. I might look into these. I'm curious as to how they will fit. Hopefully it won't hang too low under the car and be a nuisance on a lowered car.

Finally had time. Only problem, top and bottom half screw holes were off a little. Had to open up the holes a bit. Other then that it was all good. Applied anti seize on very bolt and nut. Forgot to clean my prints off the header before turning the engine on... Now there's some discoloring as a result. Happy with the results.

Had to port match the gasket.
