Default Shift kit and rims

is it really bad to have a shift kit and 20" rims?(monte with a ls4 is selling his)I installed a ZZP shift kit with the medium setting (there are 3 different levels you can choose with the zzp shift kit) a couple months back, and on their site it says "not recommended for use with 20" rims". I know we have a weak tranny as it is but im in the market looking for 19s and montes are the same style im looking for but his are 20s.

I think you'll be fine. I'm about to install the Transgo and there's no warning about running 20'' rims.

But I did find this on grand prix forum...http://www.grandprixforums.net/shift-kit-20s-37914.html

"zzp uses plastic parts and spacers, you dont want that. you want to replace springs with better ones, IE: the trans-go kit."

So, maybe because they use plastic, they're more prone to break when running 20''s?

I would definitely go with the trans go. It is a very nice kit. I just installed one and will be doing another one.
