never mind. i did a little more searching and figured out that the mini spools do not require the eliminator kit, and theyre cheaper.

Full replacement spools (for the 8.8) do indeed require the eliminator kit. A mini spool will not because you are still retaining the factory carrier.
You might have to do a *minor* bit of trimming on the clip in order to allow fitment into the side blocks. I'm talking like 8-10 seconds with a grinder to make it ever so slightly narrower. And not all the mini spools will require this modification.
