Why RA? Those are junk and only slightly better than what you have. Just go PPG and be done with it.

Angel - I really have no idea why I do that. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I think I heard or read something about doing that cuts down on spam to that site thru this site? Makes no sense to me.. and I'm an engineer! I think I may be overthinking it!

And yeah.. it's the same site I believe.

Oh, and it costs about 5 grand +/- a couple depending on what you get

Just a bit of advice. Take this however you like.

Don't spend the 2 grand on RA's and expect to beat the piss out of them b/c they will explode just as quick as your stockers. They are a decent upgrade over stock, but they will not hold red-line dumps and flat foot shifting....if that's what you are expecting. PPG's are expensive but they will outlast your car and take every bit of abuse you can throw at them.

I guess a better question would be to ask you what your ultimate goal for you car is. If it's anywhere above 325whp then you need to save more money and go w/ PPGs.
