I haven't seen anything at all posted regarding tranny issues after installing the kit, but if someone has had that experience please speak up.

One of those is yours Serbiasrt8, dropping it in the mail tomorrow.

if you impress by the looks wait til you put them on. BB Grounding kit are the best. I get no lag on my 5at. My car use to like lag shifting when it got to 3k it would just keep revving then it jump down to 2k and make my car like jump.This is just in Drive not even sport shift or anything. Hard to explain but now i dont get that no more

I was allways ok with the Downshifts,but upshifts when using the paddles were always a second late!That's what bothers me.

Folks, I'm out of town and unable to ship new orders until the end of next week. Please hold all your orders and payments until then.

If you are ready to buy or on the fence, I'd encourage everyone to order when I return next week before the end of November. There will be a price increase on December 1. I will announce how much at that time. My sincere thanks to all who have ordered from me so far. I appreciate it and so does Betty.

My Toughts

Ordered a few days ago,got it within two days.
The install was fairly simple,just make sure the car cools of first!
I did need to remove the airbox to complete step 3.Couldn't get to the bolt!

After the install.
I re-set the windows,that's all.
Took it for a ride,and i really have to admit that it does shift faster,up-shifts are much much quicker when using the paddles.
The Downshifts happen instantly now,you press and BAM!it rev matches!Nice!!But the upshifts is where it helped the most.

Great Mod,Very Affordable,Great quality product.
Recomended!

15 Minute Installed - Unless you are having a bad night.

Installed the 8 awg carbon fiber last night. Instructions were great. I love pictures. It is honestly a very quick and easy install as long as you don't drop one of the block bolts down and it bounces around somewhere. Tried fishing it out with a magnet and could not find it. Finally pulled off about 1/2 bolts on the shield to get the bolt. So I say to myself, "hey leave the shield loose until finished just in case". That was almost a great idea because as I was working on the right side on the last connection I dropped the socket and extension. So off the comes the other side of the under shield to get it.

Once all done, took it for a drive. Seems better, but did not really get a chance to play with it much since I had passengers that wanted a smooth ride. Downshifts never seemed to be a problem for me, but upshifts were questionable.....that seems better.

So great look in the engine bay, easy install, improves shifting, good price, nice guy......just put stickem on your fingers if you have the dropsies.
