Corresponded with him some, and he said he would do the same price shipped to the GTA. Take a look at the link here: http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=genmods&Number=556191&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=7&fpart=1&vc=1 Not pretty, but they seem to be effective. If anyone is interested, we could maybe order a bunch of them in one shot and have them shipped to one local address. Help with shipping and customs and all those good things. Seems to be a good guy to deal with anyway, so contact him if you have any more questions.

My personal opinion is to get one that can be welded to the strut towers. Then: 99 Silver Frost SVT #1919 237hp/219tq All Motor Now: 06 White STI Parts 4 sale

Also need to keep my pocket book tightened up till this coolant issue is resolved.

When I put the FSTB on mine the diff was negligable, but with the RSTB the whole reare of the car felt tighter, more predicatable and it got rid of many of the sqeeks my car had developed Then: 99 Silver Frost SVT #1919 237hp/219tq All Motor Now: 06 White STI Parts 4 sale

I thought it was the other way around however now that you mention it...... Your right. Either way. Stupid coolant.
