who has them? i would like to get them but i am skepticle becuase they are modified factory rockers, ive been looking at the slp 1.8, they dont require springs, but if the 1.9 rockers are good ill get them because i have the springs needed sitting in my garage, ordonez1307 already told me they where good and he likes them, who else does and is it worth it?

what kind of gains noticed and is there a sound difference under the hood, meaning does it give a meaner sound? i want to get these things on the 15 of nov. but i want a little more input from those who have them.

There won't be much sound difference when putting on rockers. Peformance increases are nice, but depend a lot on what you already have on the car.

They generally are real nice for a lot of top end gain and with some tuning you might be able to drop a pulley size.

It's been too long since I've not had rockers to really be able to give you a butt dyno feel for them, but without going to a cam, rockers are a good bang for the buck.

Also, I've looked into the specs on things and found out that the 1.9 rockers are about equivelant to ZZP's VS cam only less duration and overlap.

to be honest, the butt dyno with them wasnt impressive, but that can be expected in the top end stuff. But the scans were completely different before and after. deffinately an improvement

So sites state different. I've read 20-25 at the wheels and/or just 25 hp gain. So I assume it gives you at least 25 hp, and you will notice it on the top end, like over 4500 rpms.

when installing these should i drain all my fluids since i am removing my manifold and i got coolent lines all over.....well...whats the easiest way to do this, as far as i know i got to take the ignition coils off altanator, supercharger,the manifold, fuel rail and obviously the valve covers?

For a rockers install. No. Just the Valve covers, but there are some things that need to be taken off to get at them. Do a search, I just posted on a recent thread about taken off valve covers. Few different threads on those.
But the S/C doesn't have to come off, nor the manifold. But the ignitoin coil packs, alt maybe, might just loosen, and some wiring out of the way.

why did you think that you had to take all of that off?

because when i take the old springs out and put the new ones on...the spring compresser tool is pretty long and i thought the s/c and manifold would be in the way
