    Has anyone used one of these? How do they hold up to snow and wind? I live in Boston and I lost my storage space. This would fit perfect in my driveway but will it do the trick? Any recommendations on brand or where to buy?

    Summit doesn't have any specs and I can't find much online. The only info I did find was that they BOTH are about .8 drop in the front and .5 in the rear. If that is the case then what is the difference? MY car is dropped 1.5 now and its too much. The ride is harsh and bigger wheels won't...

    Anyone have any experience with Astro Performance?

    They make a T5 rated for 400 HP for only $695. Sounds like a pretty big savings over a Tremec. Is a Tremec worth the extra dough? Link to the transmission
