it on the to do list...

I'll get around to it one of these days... lately I've been focused on teying to find different wheels... its impossible, cant find the right offset lightweight wheels Actually, I have one set in mind... just have to decide to do it.

After I get past that hurdle, I'll consider the VB... also contemplating ART... still deciding....

thanks for the offer btw

If you determine 180 is for the correct kit, please post up right away... that's a smokin deal - the cheapest it has ever been in prior to now was 200 from g t m way back when they first started selling the kit installed (for 1200)

give me a little credit there Athon, I'm able to discern between rev and shifts
I think it's quite possible the shifts could be fractionally quicker with the deeper gears. The reason being that the TCM bases line pressure on rpm so if you add deeper gears, you're going to be entering gears at higher rpms therefore the line pressure is raised, effectively increasing shift speed and firmness. This would probably be more noticeable at more moderate throttle inputs rather than WOT. I'll admit, I think my car shifts a little faster/firmer with the 3.5 gears. With the 3.7 gear, the result should be more noticeable.

I'll do that, thanks!

The kit for the G35 isn't listed on their site, though?
