i wish you answered this earlier. :( i was afraid of the cheap short rams creating problems from poor build quality (since you can't touch through the internet and i've seen some serious crap for performance parts in the past). anyway, i got a dc sports one off ebay for 119 new (including shipping). so i figured that's not too bad. of course $30 for one would have been better.

it's coming from manchester honda, in ct. so, i'll let you all know how the deal goes.
