[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16427887, member: 124025"] The spacer blocks they use on the 2R and the Gen 3s have a lot more meat for threads, and everything else, not so much. If you do install the helicoil, you'd be wise to do it with the supercharger off the car and do what you can to capture any aluminum bits from getting into the rotor area. It's not too difficult to remove the rotors, so that's an option too. I'd also snug the bolt for the egr in place on the opposing side snug while you both drill and tap for the helicoil. It's going to need to be pretty straight, which is not always that easy to do with a hand drill. [/QUOTE]
