The car feels very planted to the ground. On the highway switching lanes at an excess of 65-80 mph the car feels quick and is able to make quick transitions with out drama. Going over bumps nothing has changed no squeaks quirks or anything of that manner. As far as vibration i can not notice anything AT ALL. I do have CS black motor mounts and trans mount so that will probably transmit more noise then the cradle bushings. It was rainning yesterday and my service traction control light was on so i wasnt able to turn off traction control to launch it plus it was raining yesterday so i wasnt able to drive the car as hard as i normally would. I will try to launch it today and possibly get a video if things go smoothly.

Yes please do... The main thing in choosing between red and blue is vibration so if you don't notice any extra I may go red.

that was a badass video man, but you should go back and edit the vid or overlay different audio. revshift is coming through for us bigtime man, and we gotta send the recognition where it's due. like i said, badass video that has put me over the edge to make a buy, but the revshift guys deserve the mention.

thanks again, bud.

Owww warm that poor motor up before doing that....
I would recommend an alignment anytime you move that much stuff around.

Totally agreed, on both points. If you did that on my car (equipped with Comp 26926 valvesprings--470 in-lbs of open seat force), you'd be at great risk of snapping valvesprings because they're brittle until they reach operating temperature. If you drop a valve, that could easily spell the end of a motor.

It's your car. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want to it.

I saw a video on liveleak today of a guy spanking the monkey while driving on the freeway. lilgcts-v could do that while clutch dumping and definitely not wheelhopping. or you know, whatever else he wants to do. just an idea. i'd do it too, if i had REVSHIFT rear cradle bushing installed.
