Default Bitter sweet day...

So took the Mach in for the longtube install, as soon as we lift it up we notice a good amount of oil under the pan, K-member and a/c compressor....well there went that oil pan gasket so now K-member's gotta come off. Soon as that comes off, hey wth?? Oh **** its a blown shock! Well guess its now or never for those Tokico D specs, Steeda sport springs and MM CC plates. Sweet, eh?? Well on the down side my wallet is feeling a little lighter. Guess the SLP line lock install and the purchase of the MM full length subframe connectors is gonna have to wait a bit... Oh well, on the positive side I believe my mod list is now too long to post in the sig.

I've never heard of someone so pleased to hear about unexpected costs. You suck! lol. Congrats on the new suspension and give some feedback about how the LTs do for you.

A 2.1 KB for $300-500 bucks?? Point me in that direction. I've seen a few guys post slightly used 2.1 KBs on SVTP and they dont go below $2500, blower only.

You did your entire setup for 500?

There's no way you bought all the parts to do a complete Eaton swap for $500! That's the going price for just the compressor, not all the supporting pieces to complete the installation.
