    Yeah if you have an auto you will feel it more. I have a 5 speed and it didn't eat up my brakes too bad before I put mine on.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Got mine on. The 2" is def blocked by the rear break line. I got it set at 1.5" for now but I think its closer to 2". How do I get it set to 2?

    BTW, a very big diff. I think this is why my passenger side rotor is warped.

    Yeah the 2nd and 3rd hole are tight from the brake line so if the bolt gos in from the other side there should be no ussues.

    Sure. I dont think they need it that bad, but I tend to stay cautious.

    I installed my bracket yesterday at the 1.5" and didn't have to trim it at all. It was close, but cleared the top by 1/4". The BPV arm sits in front of the bracket, so I don't think it will be an issue. If others have any issues, you could probably use a spacer and longer bolts to make sure the bracket is behind the arm.

    Also, my factory bracket was bent up all chitless...I had to put it in a vice and work it with a cresant wrench and a pair of channel locks to get it straightened out. It no longer touches the axle. The stud was bent also. I didn't have a way to straighten the stud. It angled up slightly, but wasn't a problem.
