It just looks so top heavy, ready to tip. Doesn't look to be well anchored. But, if it is stable...it would be great to have.

I purchased a sissors type Transmission jack from Harbor Freight. It lifts to 30". I fabricatted a cradle that extended the reach 10" higher so the car was at a easy height to sit on a roller and work. The Maxjax has 3 lift heights where a pin can be placed to secure the height. I set it there and everything worked out well.

This is a well designed lift. It has 5- 3/4" anchors in each base plate. A hydralic lift motor works on 110 - 120 VAC. There are 3 pin secured heights where a 3/4" rod can be passed throught the entire frame so you are not depending on the hydraulic rams to hold the load. The car weight is 2900 # the hoist lifts and holds 6000#. There is no wobble or motion of any type with even a 4800# truck on the lift. The Car was on the lift 3 days while the clutch, fly wheel, pressure plate, IMS, RMS, Plugs, coils, and other work was done. I have since used it to work on my Pick up truck and wife car and feel very secure while working around the lift. You can use it in a garage with a 8' ceiling but you may not be able to extend it totally. You must have 4" of concrete in you floor. I was pleasently suprised that there was between 5" and 6" in my garage floor.

mine is going into Chris's in a couple weeks for just the IMS and AOS, going to run me about 2200-2300 after all is said and done, I can probably find it done cheaper, but I want it done right and that shop seems to be one of the best around.

Had mine done when I bought the car with 50k on the engine. I only had the IMS retrofit and the RMS done as the clutch was in great condition. Cost was $1200. Btw the original one was ingots condition.

That's an awesome price, especially considering silicon valley location. Only like $500 labor?

I don't know what you are getting for $595 but you should verify it is a new LNengineering ceramic IMS bearing!

Just had mine done. IMS, RMS, clutch, flywheel. $3,500. It's a little higher here in the DC metro area.

It was the L&N bearing and cover. That was their cost from L&N. Thanks.

Last I heard the LN kit price now included the latest RMS seal. The separate pricing is a maybe six month ago way of handling the same parts. Price totals the same.
You sure these guys have ever done one before/recently?

What I recall at the time was that the RMS was included if you ordered online. They did not. So yes, I missed out on the free RMS. I think $595.00 was the 2011 price for the bearing kit, not including the associated "tool kit", which they already had.
The shop was Wright Motor Service in Milford Ohio, associated with Wright Motorsports in Batavia Ohio. (They prepared the Flying Lizards GT entry into the 24 hours race at Daytona this year.) I felt like they were qualified. I don't know how many they have done. There's no looking back now though. I'll just have to see how it holds up.
