Why wouldn't you wany to install R&P? Especially on a driver car.

Well, I can think of a few reasons, but one is; $1200!

I did get my silentbloc replacements from Ken at BFE, but I believe he imported them from Racetorations or maybe Revington. They weren't cheap when I bought them, and they are more now. Although I'm happy with the result, the ones from Ken weren't exactly "plug and play" either. Had to add a shim to one, and cut the other one, to get them to fit properly.

I had no problem installing the silentbloc bushings I got from BFE.
 
I bought my car for $800.00 last year and since then have spent close to $16K. It has been a real blast and a great experience. I've met many nice people and have had some most interesting experiences.
The car is virtually new from end to end. I have a few body panels that I want to replace but the ones that are on there are not too bad.
Since I was making a new old car (interesting eh!) I didn't spare any expense (Of course within reason and necessity)

I think $1200.00 is not too much to be safe and to have a more fun car to drive.

I'm now looking for wheels and a transmission (OD or 5sp).
