One of the few parts I would buy again from Vic Brit are the Grouse Jets.

I drive my Alpine 10K+ a year, and had to replace the stock needle valves every couple of years when they would start leaking. The Grouse Jets were installed six years ago - no problems since. I don't think they'll give you any extra HP, but its one less reason to pull the Strombergs off the car in the future.
