^ the unrevised do that, but the rear will sit lower than the front so that is why people do G/Z or Revised Z Springs
photobucket is acting up but you can find many pics of the Z spring drop here

Well, after almost 95k miles it looks like my radiator is going. 
I went to clean my air filter and found antifreeze sprayed around in the engine bay and laying on top of the radiator. Any recommendations on a good radiator for an '03 5AT? Preferably something that won't break the bank. I know Koyo's are good but I'm not sure if I wanna spend that much on such short notice.

Anyone want to know why the 2>3 Shift in their 5AT's is so harsh? I found an explanation and a fix, though you probably wont fix it unless your trans needs a rebuild.
2-3 Harsh Shift
The 2-3 harsh shift is caused by apply timing of the high and low reverse clutch, not the front band. Here’s why: The front band is holding in first and second, but is ineffective. In third gear, it’s part of the applied state. The servo never loses pressure, so if the band were slipping it would cause a spin-up or neutral, not a flare.
The high and low-reverse clutch applies and the forward brake releases on the 2-3 shift. The timing between these two shift components is critical. The high and low-reverse clutch drum is splined to the direct clutch and is connected to the rear planetary. The forward brake is located in the back of the transmission and is splined to the case.
The problem is the clearance specifications,and there are plenty of them out there: We found at least three and they were all different. Having the wrong clearance — being too loose or too tight — will force you to remove the transmission again. And most of the
clutch packs don’t have a conventional selective plate. So here’s the fix: set the high and
low-reverse clutch clearance to 0.050” and the direct clutch to 0.060”, or as
close as humanly possible
