Hi guys. I agree with the above posts, the only problem I've ever had with a car jumping out of gear was due to the shifter boot. When you let off the gas, pressure is taken off the gears and making it easier to slip out of gear if the boot is putting slight pressure on it. I just put the car in N, centered the boot, and redrilled it.

The shocks have always been Gariel. It's a suspension issue. The car handles as well or better than many with these shocks so any other would only drive the price up. However, Bilstiens would only make it better.

I plan to upgrade my brakes, shocks, springs, and sway bars later this year. I'm also thinking of going to all poly or solid bushings. I will probably make the changes in steps because I want to make a blueprint for how fast the car is stock and then how much is gained with various upgrades to suspension.
