+45 for all 4. I used a 25mm spacer up front and 27mm spacer in the rear to have it sit flush.

Default Oh no!!

What a messy climax! But wait. The anticlimax could be in the Black one. Cuz you will do everything better by learning curve rules. Good luck and sorry about that disaster. It was soon hot!!

Love the build and what an unfortunate outcome.

The low low book value of these cars makes me think twice about modifying them.

Curious what you thought about the Transgo?

His black one is the next revision of his silver one that he went all out on after this was wrecked. Talk about turning a bad situation into a good one

Yes, you have to really like the GS to modify it I think. They're cheap as heck so they're not worth anything, but if you like it, you can't put a price on it. I liked the shift kit, it did help with quicker shifts. It was quicker than my GS now.
