Very well put together i like it. I think the offset on the wheels is not that great, other than that i like it!! Are you sure those are sprint springs? Why is mikeluvs8's car so much lower and he has sprint springs? and he did not preload them!!

Oh god forbid you gotta scroll down a little more! We have better things to worry about than taking a few seconds of our time to scroll down. First its Obama than this? C'mon people we need change!!! Pointless to question why people do the things they do.

It's inconsiderate to quote the original post and all of it's photos. We have already seen all of it, this is a misuse of the QUOTE function.

No I actually like tilting the gauges, I set it so my warning at at 12 o'clock so if the needle sweeps past 12 I know to back off.

You can make them straight with a custom mounting bracket. The problem with the RB pod is the surface area inbetween the gauges is minimal, so traditional mounting brackets don't have enough surface to hold onto with another gauge next to it (Hope that made sense). You can make one giant bracket that connects to each gauge and hold them all, if you wish.

Yes and yes. But after doing it that way, I wouldn't put the water temp sensor in the heater hose. I would rather use ProSport's radiator hose adapter and install it in the upper radiator hose. It's more work but more accurate.

Haha, no man, it's Burns Oil! I catch some flak for it as some locals like to say Brown Soil LOL
