What would posess you to get a shift light? Lol, sorry I'm not trying to bash you, but I just don't understand why someone would have one. There was a stupid shift light on my LS and it drove me crazy.

Perfect for the track. The LED's are bright enough that he can monitor other things or just concentrate ahead of him and he'll still see it when it comes up. Makes for errorless shifts at the track. Much more consistent, especially if you're bracket racing.

Ah, gotcha. I never really saw a purpose for it especially since it was in an LS. I just figured it was to tell someone who was new to manual, when to shift. Lol, boy was I off! Thanks for the info.

Well, on the LS you're right. It's to tell the idiots it's time to shift.
All the big boys need em' because when cars start getting into the 12's and faster, they run through gears super fast. It's easier to set a shift light a few hundred RPM before redline then it is to guess on a moving object everytime...

THe shift light is more accurate than the tach as well. when I am doing 6500 rpm in first the car will read on the tack about 400 RPM less. the light will go flashing before the tach catches up. puts less thought into when to shift too. I see a flash in the corner of my eye and I just shift.
a real nice feature is it is easy to set the shift light to different rpm. I set it to 5,000 rpm running around in the city cause at that rpm in second I will be at speed limit. I know to shut it down and get less tickets hopefully...LOL
How it looks today

Okay the addition of Sportlines is done. My photochop was pretty close to the actual results!
Contrast in light was done on purpose to show off body lines.
I think this is the best spring kit going. WHy? balanced height when you done. the ride is better than old over sharp edged bumps (you dont feel every crack in the road) the only negative is that it is easier to bottom out the suspension.
I have not cut bump stops as many said it is not needed. If you have and feel its necessary please PM me. that would be great.
Thanks for looking
