Want to order from you and schedule an appointment sometime soon. Just have to figure out what I want for my DD.
That is correct. The fronts use a tapered progressive spring that will cause some fitment issues with wider wheels. You gain a bit of clearance vs. stock, but not as much as some of the comparable setups. (ST, Flex Z, Etc.)

Feel free to shoot me a PM with any questions and I'll get you all set up

A few cars from the past couple days. Seems like a lot of you guys are waiting on those tax returns! I may have to do some kind of Tax Return Sale, so stay tuned!









Some carnage from letting my roommate drive the shop car at Thunderhill West. He managed to spin off 3 times. Bent both rear control arms, this side being the worst.



Luckily had a replacements waiting



Shiv stopped by with his FRS to have his Moto-East flex fuel kit installed. OFT will very soon support flex fuel! (and damn his car is fast!)




@FUN BRZ got away from baby duty long enough to have his JDL catted UEL installed





Edit:

Also finally got the footage from Thunderhill West, from my buddy's GoPro!

Woohoo! Glad to hear OFT is going to support FlexFuel. That was the only thing that was pushing me toward going EcuTek.

One of my favorite UEL headers. They make great power, and the catted option is quite nice for volume and smell. They are on the pricier side, but well worth it for the quality.

You're doing everything backwards - Get the headers first then do the suspension!

Seriously though, it sounds great - not to the point where I'd can't drive down a neighborhood at 3 in the morning. My exhaust system is finally complete after two years of indecisiveness

BTW, @The Racers Line - May 3, 2014 was when you put on the Cat and OP/FP combo. It's been a long time!

Neal provides some of the best customer service I've ever seen. Did a fantastic job on my header/frontpipe/flywheel, took time to explain and answer questions and went out of his way to accommodate requests. Even gave me a ride to and from Bart. Needed some emergency help with installation of the flex fuel after business hours, asked if he could call me and he called me after hours! Because of Neal's help after hours, I was able to get my car tuned the following day. Now that's some serious customer service right there. Would not hesitate to recommend anyone to his shop for any car. Looking forward to getting more stuff installed by Neal

Just met Neal at The Racers Line!

I just left Neal's shop, and I must say, i'm impressed. Super cool guy, and very knowledgable. He will be helping me with a spring and spacer install next week.

Thanks Neal!
