    For Sale LS Eibach Pro-kit Springs

    guys, i ran these on my '00 ls. the ride is so close to stock, you won't be able to tell the difference. good price, too. having said that, be prepared to do some r&r on suspension bits, because these cars do not like to be lowered. otherwise, it looks fantastic, and rides really well.

    new battleship

    it doesn't get TOO bad, considering it's a 6k lb vehicle. i've had it a little over a month. worst it has gotten was around 12mpg in the city, and best on hwy was 21mpg. it averages around 17/18ish. if you drive it like a bat out of hell, mpg really suffers, but keep your foot out of it...

    catalyic converter problem

    If you buy aftermarket cats, go to a local tuner and have them turn the rear o2 sensors off. As long as you can have at least 1 not ready, your good.

    catalyic converter problem

    aftermarket cats aren't going to be telling the downstream o2's that they are doing a factory level job at scrubbing the exhaust. if you have a local tuner, you can have them turn the rear o2's off, and your codes will go away. you will need to check your states inspection details and make...
