Kren - I run hankook ventus tires and love them. As far as the shifter, you won't be able to reuse it without some modification. The rst shifter is threaded on a stud, not bolted like the T-56 shifter. The tune did that 4.8 some good.

If you haven't already, get some long tube headers, and if you can dutch the cats. They will give you more bottom end torque.

Need some advice...

So last summer i got my foose 20's powdercoat black from the crome because they were all pitted and looked like crap. Did a good job for $48 a wheel. Except now im pissed off causei went to spray them off with hot water from all the salt on the roads and they peel'd like paper off...

Any tips on a good place to send my wheels in to get completly redone? Or would it not even be worth it and just buy another set of wheels?

sounds like the material that got into the wheels and caused them to pit was never cleaned out properly, and it caused the wheel to continue to corrode under the powdercoat.

fyi - if you are thinking about getting rid of them let me know what you would have to have for them.

the cats restrict flow horribly. which is what causes you to loose that extra bottom end power i was talking of.

This is what I got the rear. Would be safe to say the foward bracket drops me 2" and this is a 1" shackle? Or is it the there way around, 1" bracket on front spring, 2" shackle. I'm not home right now so I can't measure it, was just wondering if someone could tell by looking it.
