Questions about JCW Stage 1 Kit

Just wanting to know if anyone has heard when they are to re-release the kit for post July 2008 builds? Also, is there an increase in torque steer with the kit? Thanks.

Torque steer seems to be reduced or the same. Don't ask me how but it's smoother power going down the pike.

my dealer informed me that by the time the 2009s roll in towards month's end there will be a part number for the reinforced exhaust bracket that's unique to the post-July builds and that yes they will be able to install the kit no problem.

I asked my MA about that because my MCS is coming at the end of the month, and she had no idea what I was talking about.
