i emailed them today sayin, i just made arrangements to have the money when they would be ready 4/9/10 & i didnt want to miss my chance. they said 2 of the 5 are sold already, & i would be #3 so that leaves 2 sets left of the 5 they bought. Then they are going to make changes & start producing. I just couldnt wait.

I believe there are a few companies that make them. I'd do a search on here or Google.

Sent my paypal money for my S&S's today, There going on next weekend,man i cant wait. Oh i also installed a set of Torque Master plugs on tue night, damn they really do make a difference. Ive been gasin it all around, playin with my new hp & tq. Also got a set of Megan motor mounts commin in, I was think while im doin the headers, might as well do the mounts, oh & why not timing belt & pulleys too. I think that might be an all day & nighter.

spdrcr771 that is great... Let us know how the install goes and if you have any tips after.. If you think your TM plugs gave you a boost.. wait for these babies... so I have read.

yea they do, its in a set of 3, both engine mounts & rear tranny mount,all polyurathane,kinda pricy but should be worth it for sure, should get some more tq w/less motor movement. dan @ assaultech gave me the best quote. pm him see if they make them for the gs430 or if maybe the SC set will work, i found a pic of them on ebay.
