    I know where one of their old transmissions is and they did some tricks to be able to bang gears quicker. Those old racers did some crazy shit back in the day. Like for us to get a little quicker short track racing to reduce rolling resistance we use to mix 90 weight gear oil with bearing grease. We also ran 0 weight oil for qualifying then change it to 60 weight.

    I don't think its even that wide, maybe a 6 1/2" strip. Its even with the middle of the rear view mirror mount. The pic makes it look like its halfway down the windshield LOL

    Installed one of those OCD consul organizers, and then argued with the SO about Bronze wheels. She hates the Bronze so much that she said buy whatever you want, but it has to be chrome. HAHAHA I am stuck on these right now.

    You can either be right or happy. Forget about both.

    Looks Good!! Did you got with the highest setting on the 5100's? I am looking to do pretty much the same set up.

    The 5100 are set at 0, lowest setting. The lift comes from the 885 springs.

    Ahhh, it would appear that my research is incomplete. Thanks for the info! I need to keep digging before I "spring" for anything.

    So I assume it rides a lot better since the lift comes from the springs rather than maxing out the front struts?
