Rick,
I found those last two sets and the install zert kit I had stored away, BTW. I was in my attic moving some stuff around from my former WSCB event bins, low and behold there was the box with the last two kits in it for the ERA. I had forgotten I brought it to the last WSCB to show a few people who wanted to see it and it was trapped in the bottom of one of those old bins!. As for ongoing use of this kit, my final assessment over the years of use with my car is the setup definitely helps, but it has not completely eliminated wheel hop under any type of situation if I just jump on it full on. I just don't do that. However, as compared to before the kit - I CAN get on it much harder now and it does put the power to the ground much better with more confidence than without it. The only thing I would change with my existing setup would be to go to a tad stiffer shock if I changed anything. Duane
