    agree with everyone above. engage has the best bang for buck kits out there. either go with them, or have a custom one made. there is no point in paying out the ass for a TC or camburg kit.

    yep.... the camburg kit is 2400, the TC kit is even more than that. i have no diea what the engage kit is but i believe its under 2k.
