That really depends on your desires......

If you go the McMaster Carr seal, the seals aren't a big savings. Also, for the McMaster Seals, you'll want to get the struct mount bracket from planearound.com. The Van's bracket intefere's with the seal.
Don't forget to get Sean's safety latch.

You also have the upgrade to heavy duty struts. You can get them from Van's but can be found less expensive elsewhere.

If you have unlimited amounts of cash, you can get the pre-trimmed glass from vansaircrafttires.com.

You'll want to replace the nosewheel with the Matco wheel and axle.

I'm sure I've probably forgot something, but if you do a search you should find plenty of information that has been already been discussed and debated.

I just got mine in and I deleted the struts,front wheel,axle,all tires and tubes,intersection fairings. I think they ended up taking off about $500.

I also deleted the fairing brackets also.

Delete the Safety latch as well

Delete the Safety latch as well if you are using the planearound center latch.

Don't believe all the gloom and doom about door fitting either. It really was not that bad.... 50 hours and I have the doors, seals, hinges and latches installed. (Skipped the windows until I do them all together). The door latches were as much work as fitting the doors.
