    Has anyone found any actual difference in quality/performance/durability between the brands, or do they just like barking a name like a troupe of trained seals? It's too darn hard for me to tell from online pictures. The only person I might know of that has seen a reasonable amount of control arms is Mike Kopstain. Think we might get his opinion?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    I have dormans too, but a friend on ClubGP bought a pair and the welds broke after only a couple months. Maybe it was just a bad set but he re-tunred them and got MOOGs

    I dont know where your finding MOOGs only $10 more Doug

    edit............

    Looks like there's some cheaper R-series now.

    Dont know how those compare to the $80+ per side MOOG ones.
