Hmmm, Not too sure which bracket you're talking about, but it's a set of sparco hood pins. with the pins, washers, screws to mount base (part which is connected to hood) and bolts.

Well.... While I don't relish the idea, IF I ever go back to recon to get mine updated (for exhaust, rims,) but they require hood pins for carbon fiber or fiberglass hoods.

Talking I hate you Jeff

Congrats on your new coilovers. Now sit in your house and don't drive AT ALL until Sunday. I heard that new coilovers need to sit on your car not practiced... I mean driven on for 3 full days in order to let the springs and struts equilibriate properly. Really. Read it in Import Tuner. Shiv told me, too. Don't DRIVE!

So solly GI. I don't know why you're worried. You've seen my driving. I'm a danger to myself more than a threat to anyone else. The Falken's will just let me gain more speed before I go flying into a guardrail... right mehlt? Sorry. Not nice.

Hehe...just kidding Etchy! Those tires should knock a good 1-2 seconds off your runs. 18hr did very well on his. It's a LOT easier to be smoother on good rubber! Good luck to ya!
