IIRC the stock Greddy location is WAY too close for the sensor.

I had 3" test pipe made with a bung in it for my LCI, but also have a secondary bung capped off in the downpipe for dyno testing.

I might even had him keep that suspension and put stock back on, work that in to negotiations. But the hardtop is a huge bonus.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. TSE's Rover was on those for a bit. Put down some impressive lap times.

I've driven on them, they are the worse handling shocks I've ever driven on. There's almost a noticable delay in turning the steering wheel and when the car reacts due to the **** poor low-speed damping of them. But again, they are very comfortable.

Copper. Brass will work, too. Aluminum will corrode.


Edit: buy some thicker shim stock. Auto parts store may have it.

why will the aluminum corrode? I've had the same flimsy *** 18g one on my car for like 6 years now.
