hate to say it but that 20 is listed as 12.4kg thats 27.34 lbs the 19 is 11.2kg 24.69lb 27lbs sounds like a big brake upgrade

Well, I fired my mechanic from the header job since all he did was whine and moan about how scary the job looked, and hired svttour to do the job. Either way, looks like the 20's are coming on before the headers do. No worries there. I pick up my contour today, and dropping it off at another bodyshop that I hired to do my Mirko fix since the one I've been working with quoted me a 2 week lead time and that is just bull$hit if you ask me. I plan on having my car decked out by mid next week/Friday.

I can't beleive with all the $$$$ you have invested you aren't coming to SZ to show it off - man your missing out on an awesome time and the chance to be the ULTIMATE whore in the flesh. I guess it'll be left up to Me, Buckshot, Jim and Mark to fight for the honors instead. You've lost browny points XL - shame on you slacker!

Good for us...  . Sucks for the little Japs though...

Whoa! Not being a smartie pants or anything but I had the best job in my life until the company decided that it would be cheaper to have this stuff made in china, japan, brasil, and mexico. Our plant is being shut down and spread out because of this cheap labor. Not trying to be your dad or anything and that is an awesome price on the new shoes for your tour, but its not that good for the economy of the U.S.,and its very good for these "Japs" that you speak of. The U.S. economy is being ripped to shreds by this b/c mine is not the only plant in the city I work in thats closing. Luckily I have found another job,but alot of people wont be as lucky. 
Good luck on your Ride, hope it doesn't give you to much of a headache, post some pics as soon as your done so we all can  !

What is good for the consumer is ultimately good for the economy. There is out sourceing from foreign companies into America as well (think hyundai, mercedes, and honda plants,etc.) It's nice to buy American but if it's not a good choice for the consumer, then it isn't a good choice for the economy. It all works out, don't worry bout it.
