That looks good.
I didn’t realize how much of an abomination it really was until I saw it fixed

let it be a public service announcement to everyone who uses ramps. Make sure the rubber grip on the underside is in place before you try and put your car up.

ramps scare the shit out of me

Using the ramps was a necessity because I did not have a garage or really a great space to work on a car. Now that I have a garage and can use my racing Jack easily, the ramps are somewhere in the corner gathering cobwebs

Had my RE71R installed and I am very pleased with traction, 2nd gear just grips and goes now. The shop I went to (they have never damaged a wheel before) scratched all four wheels. Waiting to see if they can be repaired or what the repair will be, of course the shop is paying. As the guy tried handing me the keys I inspected all my wheels with him present. I told him, "Dude, you fucked up every wheel!" The bad part is he knew and tried to pass off the bad work without saying a word. Needless to say they won't be touching the car again.

I'm putting my winter set on when it's time for an alignment.

JB4 is the same for all 1.8/2.0s
Thanks for the info. I did finally find a post from Berger Racing that stated the same thing when I should've been sleeping last night. Downside to buying a JB4 used is that even if there's warranty left on the product, that warranty isn't transferrable. Oh well, with all the stuff I got with it, it was almost a 66% discount off of new.
