Check your local shop for some of the ARP units. I got mine for $38, but $40-45 is an average price.

I asked my local shops and they said that ARP doesn't make any for stock rods??? Does anyone know if this is true?? Or maybe a website from where I can order some.

I dont know the name of the actual site, but type in ARP in your search engine. You should find it. I know they make them, I have them on stock rods! Damn and I just threw away the package with the partnumber on them. Um...I'll try to find it for you.

Check out this site that was just presented to me. It will give you the LSVTEC exact compression you will be running. http://www.bojangz.com/calculator

I checked out the ARP website and they have one available for the 1.8. I'm going to give them a call today to see what they cost. Thanks for all the help guys.

Ok. Let me see if I can get them first, and if I can't I'll go through you. How much did you pay with tax?

Hey I finally found a shop locally that sells them. They're 40.45 plus tax. The only thing is that they're going to have to order them so it's going to be next week before I get them. Thanks for all the help.
