I received mine last Tuesday and took it out of the box today. They have made a few revisions, and the changes in the installation process are different from the Youtube video. The changes should be in the box with the kit, so if you take it to a shop that's "done this before" call their attention to the new instructions so they don't bend things in the process.
First, you don't have to level it now that they have roll pins to set the angle with the front legs. This makes it easier to install. New bushes are installed so you don't need to take the original ones off the support legs and transfer them to the new ones. Second, DON'T tighten/install the rear mount until the trans is raised - problably due to the aforementioned roll pins/legs being in place and tightened. The DVD instructs us to leave the legs loose until after we tighten the rear mount - skip this. Finally, there is a new piece that holds the boot to the tunnel - I believe that it goes under the tunnel and pinches the MGW dust boot to keep it in place. They also recommend that we use the supplied Dynamat piece to keep the E-brake lever quiet. I'm guessing that the lever can make noise, leading the user to believe that it's the shifter when it's the brake lever. It requires you to take of an additional trim piece off the center console to get to the brake. If you can't build a birdhouse, you may be able to find a Camaro friend with skills to help with this project. I've paid many of my car club friends with food or trade favors when they help me with my other car. I hope this helps.
