Picked up the new coilover brackets from laser today. before driving through cow country (check out that sweet tractor!) to pick up the coilover springs to install on the actual sway a way coilover shocks themselves.

Then Kenny busted out the welder and started laying beads attaching the brackets to the housing.

Springs are 200/250

This one doesn't have an EGR.
But please e-mail my any issues that you have with these headers and I'll forward that info to DT.
