    Well you won't get a huge boost but there will be a noticeable difference,
    if you've got the cash then I'd say go for it, probably wouldn't hurt to throw
    a catback exhaust on as well, that'll make you feel like you're going even faster

    It's the best thing next to camshaft. and unlike cam's it wont change idle, so it should run nice and smooth. and you can't complain at 10-15rwkw more - as claimed.

    Whats the sort of price you pay for the part, and is it the sort of thing you could fit yourself?

    Ive got them in my vs ute (used to be in my sedan) and you defently can tell the difference in power. When I went and put the stock ones back into the sedan it made the car seem heaps slower

    The rockers add a bit more power up high , so its a nice little boost

    I think they are made for home fitting. Try mace engineering in the sponsor sections up the top. About 600-700.

    They are simple mine didn't come with instructions. Definitely noticed a change in power and noise plus it was wet so it was ridiculously easy to spin the wheels ..........especially being a ute too

    I did other stuff to help the rockers like bigger tb and new full exhaust I think rockers by themselves wouldn't show as much of a gain but better then nothing I guess
