    Shock Conversion From Struts

    The cost to do such a conversion would run into the thousands of dollars as the entire suspension would have to be changed.

    You misunderstood my post. The comparison is between AMSOIL Signature Series synthetic automatic transmission fluid and AMSOIL OE synthetic transmission fluid. The Signature Series line is AMSOIL's best, whereas the OE line is entry level and so for only a little bit more money the original...

    Brighter burning headlight bulbs also burn out faster/don't last as long as the stock bulbs.

    If you'd purchased the transmission filter from a local store, you'd of had it in your hands right away. :thumbsup: How exactly are you conducting the fuel economy tests?

    What Wheel Size?

    I've read articles that state roof racks can reduce fuel economy as much as 4 miles per gallon due to increased aerodynamic drag.

    Rotate Tires

    There are several tire rotation patterns available. As long as the tires are not directional tires, (look on the sidewall of the tire to find out if they are or not), yes you can rotate the tires from side to side and this will help to even out tire wear patterns, extending tire life...

    Intro Me & my S

    No aftermarket parts will void a new car warranty. This is federal law. Google -> Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. It's your car and you can do what you want with it.

    Try and do a before and after fuel economy test run on the highway seperately both for the spark plugs and the AMSOIL synthetic transmission fluid. Do at least two identical test runs over at least 30 miles of open highway to get a decent average. The results will be very interesting. I do...

    I never said it would ruin your transmission. I just said the better fluid for a couple of dollars more is a better choice. I have a strong suspicion the OTF is merely a Group III based fluid. :thumbsup::)

    New Tires

    To answer a question properly one has to know why a given modification is being made. Breaking the law is what is really rude and it's not much help to someone encouraging them to break the law and get in trouble with the police. Indeed, promoting illegal activities in and by itself is illegal...

    Modifying a car so it's illegal and a cop can pull you over and jam it to your wallet with a ticket might be what is really stupid. Two wrongs don't make a right and life is too short to intentionally do illegal things and get ourselves in trouble with the police. :thumbsup:

    I am a state licensed safety inspector and if any vehicle comes into my auto center for its annual state safety inspection with the original equipment lights altered or modified, or extra lights added, per law I am required to fail it. External lighting on a vehicle is regulated by the Federal...

    The much better performing AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid, (ATF), is only a couple of dollars more than the lower performing/protecting AMSOIL OE Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid, (OTF). If you're going to keep the car a year or more then you...

    They are way too big. In my opinion, wheel spacers are dangerous and can cause wheel studs to snap off, which can really ruin your day.
