no.... do it yourself.

You know what you want, you know your engine. It isnt hard.

ARP rod bolts
SBD alu rollers

Both can be got from http://www.sbdev.co.uk phone them

Standards will be fine, arp's will be better.. If its revving to 7200 arp bolts and metal rollers would be a good idea..

er.... use www.google.co.uk and search for 'ARP head bolts'

I dont know what engine you have.

Car mapped WITH a UNICHIP doesnt need metal rollers or ARP rod bolts. They are a good idea for higher reving engines though.

x16xe?

Do a google search for ARP head bolts or studs

they are stretch bolts, so ya.... if they are std.

Re-fit ARP head studs if your planning to have the head on-off a lot
