The 1st one looks good but needs the wormgear clamps replaced with some t-bolt clamps. Not enough pictures of the 2nd to make a good evaluation.

also, its hard to tell what the core construction is like in a picture.

The first looks very similiar to the SSAC kit I just installed. The only thing I see different is the BOV flange may need to be welded on which is something I didn't want to have to worry about. That seems like a pain.

I would do a search on NASIOC for SSAC FMIC in the Private Classifieds Section. I just bought mine brand new for $325 shipped off of there.

Here's one local that may still be available. The last post is 10 May.

Good Luck!

+1 for ssautochrome. they are the only true complete kits on ebay. you can call or email ssautochrome and they should still give you the ebay deal. don't get any other ebay kit cause they don't have....
-smaller coolant overflow tank
-welded bov flange
-t-bolt clamps
-bumper beam
-sri w/ brace
-all hardware and brackets
-instructions
-and probably a few other things, but you get the idea
