When i turn the key to start my engine, all the instrument needles (oil,battery,gas,temp,rpm,mph) rev to the limit, and then move back to their normal place when the engine is on. I don't recall my car doing this before i had my suspension installed -the battery was d/c for a long time. I saw this on most newer cars like 06+ subarus. So is this normal?

Thanks for all the responses guys, guess some others were wondering the same thing. To be honest i was afraid of getting the occasional "STFU noob CLICK THE SEARCH BUTTON" answer lol. Because i searched this forum and search engines too before i asked.

Well, what are you guys' thoughts about batteries? I had a optima red top in my 95 TransAm for 3 years, it was great. I don't have a sound system, but i live in Arizona where its usually 116 degrees during the summer time (battery killing weather).

if you got the $$, get a red top...if not, go motorcraft
