i agree, i dont really want to change the handling characteristics of the car so soon before dragon. she is perfect stock its just that damn wheel gap
When I put mine on years ago...... didn't have any problems with anything else!

Driver side rear was a interesting to do.... with the fuel filling tube right in the way.... just took an extra few minutes to get that one off/on.

No problems at this end. I think i had changed mine around 35k-40k miles or so.

I'd recommend doing it after WTD.

No reason to chance having problems, when you are away from home!

Thats right.... Billman will be there.

Would give him something to do instead of doing the FCPD drive!
