  1. just to let you know they used my orig bumper stoppers they say if the car does not bottom out dont worry about it however they can't get my camber right it maxed out on adjustment and nobody makes a camber kit for the gs tomorrow it is going to an alignment specialist who said he can do it you just have to be creative.

  4. Hi not that I know alot, but what does a tc and valve body kit have to do with fast. From what I know, a tc has to do with the amount of stall it will produce off the line the more stall the more it slips your converter has around 1600 stall the more stall the more it takes in terms of rpm to make it go from the line. race cars have about 3500 to 4800 stall, tach has to be at that number before it goes or it slips As far as valve body that is the brain of the trans, a trans has no power just what the engine gives it. you can tighten up the shifts and make them firmer but as far as fast, work on your engine that is where your power is.
  5. tanabe makes a lowering spring that they say will drop 1.25 to 1.50 without changeing the stock ride also you must use there bumper stopper with the springs the ones you want nf210. I will be putting them on my 04 gs within 2 weeks.Search the web you should pay around 250 inc bumper stoppers. email me if you can't find them,leonescu@aol.com

  19. I own a trans shop, to me it sounds like a slip check your fluid level also when did you do a trans sevice last. Try this get up a few minutes early and start your car let warm up then try if no slip you might have hard rubber in trans and lip seals in trans may not be sealing right. let me know how you made out.
