Yea, but Golden Eagle knows how to install their sleeves. There is no need to realy on a third party engine machine shop to properly install them. It is a good way to control GE's overall product quality.
Dartons are excellecent but I will always steer more towards Golden Eagle sleeves.

Unless you are planning on running 40-50lbs of boost, I don`t think it really matters. Just take a look at which "pro" racers use GE. I`ll start w/ Ed B...

darton is good and like ryan said a lot of people use golden eagle. there is another brand out called LA sleeve which supposedly is just as good as both of those and go for around 200-300 i think
