Haha. As does my 2nd gear. It's worth investing in depending on labor.

However,
I dropped off the vehicle on Tuesday, and Wednesday work was started. Today I walked into this:
They ran into some issues with getting the front ones off and couldn't find the tool to install the front bushings. They wont be done til Tuesday. I can't complain because they've been really good to me in the past and plus I've been given a loaner. They've never done this type of job before and I completely understand. Plus, I've had M control arms installed, tranny mounts installed, and tranny rebuild kit from ECS.

Interesting to note the trouble on the front bushings.

My shop had a hard trouble pulling the front bushings in they actually tore one and had to replace it.
