I was looking into buying some roller rockers. I have a 96 a4. With headers, underdrive pulley, shift kit, no cats, cai, MSD wires. I need to nkow if we have self alligning RR, what would be the best kind to get, and if i can just put them on and not have to change anything else like valve springs and stuff like that. Thanks guys,
Joey

 

self aligning are the easiest to install, since you don't need guide plates or new pushrods.

a good brand to look into are the Crane Gold ($300 for a set), or the Comp Cams Pro Mags but i'm not sure if they make self aliging or not.

you'll also need to get an LT4 knock module to accomodate the added noise fromt he rockers.

usually it's recomended that you replace the springs while you are in there, i guess it's not required, particularly if you ahve lower miles and plan to use stock 1.5ratio RR...but for an extra $75 i would say do them...

 

Get some Comp Pro-Mags, yes they do make self aligning, for I think $269. Or cranes, but they are equal quality for less money. No you dont need different springs, and you might want the LT4, not totally necessary without headers, but get it just incase you are getting retarded timing. Definitely get 1.6s cuz we already have 1.5s.
