Not saying they suck by perfomance standards, the GTIR had them built into the head, a RWD sr you are adding aftermarket parts there is a difference. What I'm saying is they are noisy and a pain to install and on a car that will probably never see 300whp they are completely worthless, are gonna cost him a buncha money, and are gonna make the car sound like a POS. Shimming them sucks and from how it sounds I guarantee you there would be a post soon after this asking why his rockers are eating up his cams if he tried to install solid lifters.
