Good luck. 500 for everything is a great price. I payed more than that on install, but thats the going rate around here. You will love them, they pull real hard. Others may not agree but I would break them in gradually for the first few hundred miles.

well I just got my car back. Came out to cost 500 exactly, everything was really easy.
He told me not to push my car too hard for the next couple of days to break in the gears - so I decided to take it easy. But even on pretty regular driving I can feel my car pulling a little harder. I can't wait till I can floor it and see how it goes.

Now to fix the speedo - I just change the axle ratio on the predator?
