it wasnt bad at all, just jacked the car up abotu a foot and a half, put a jack under the oil pan and also had my engine hoist holding the engine from the front too. it took 3 hours with a sawzall to get out the factory k member since it was hitting the headers! after that the install went pretty smoothly.
as far as the brakes the car stops from the best 125mph speed i had in the 1/4 but you can tell the brakes were struggling a little (as in the car was shaking) haha i know some that still have factory brakes, but for me i would rather have the extra added insurance.
Tim, I am working on the weight issue
thanks for the compliment on the clean car!!
