Is your car slow, or does it just not peel out anymore? Maybe the springs have given you more traction.

If not, what else was done to the car? Filter cleaned? Something had to be touched.

I don't know, maybe one of the more experinced guys will know.
sorry

probally cuz you car is squatting now and hooking up better, i wouldnt worry about it.
if you really think there is a problem, take it to the track and see what it runs..do you have a 1/4 mile time from before?

The suspension mods will tend to make the car feel different, but not as drastic as what you seem to be saying. Did you use the same weight oil as with previous changes? If its an auto, maybe the tranny is slipping since you changed the fluid?
