New springs all round? x2 on the frame connectors. Good thing you bought it all done!!! LOL. The hookers are supposed to be decent headers. If they fit well I'd use them. If you decide to go after some RA mans let me know. I have a set for sale.
I've been back and forth on whether to have my Hooker headers re-ceramic coated and go with them or go with Ram Air manifolds. One way or another I'd love to get a price from you.
