The pic above your post is actually an automatic as well. It's a custom job so it looks like a manual. If I had an auto I'd prob get it, even though I'd be trying to depress the clutch.

Nice progress so far.


I know what you mean with crossing mods off the list, I haven't been able to do anything for a while, and now I'm gonna try knock some things off the list before deep freeze winter hits.

Thumbs up

Yup.... it's already dropping below that here on a reg, so certain mods will have to wait till spring now

I just want to start whittling down that long list of things to do, cause I keep adding, and haven't had time to complete.


Are you considering the Swift springs at all? From all the posts on here they seem like the best performing spring out there. Even a few people on Progressive's went to Swifts. Although the Swift's drop isn't as significant as other makers.


Hey where did you get the Blox? .... doh! no more adding to my list...


yah blassty, a couple of those storms last yr here completely buried my GE8 (thanks to the snow drift) Cant wait to try it out with the DWS's.

Yeah the Swift's are ~$250, about the same drop I think. On my list eventually.

You're doing the install yourself?

I wouldn't if I were you, and those 205/40 will have a stiff-ish sidewall.

I second this. No sense in rushing it since your OEM's are still good...pile the money in a jar labeled "sweet rims fund" and then pull the trigger when the pile matures with a nice set of lighter wheels.

Make it 3. Better to save up and buy better stronger lighter weight wheels, if you're going to "upgrade" the stock alloys.
