Had a customer stop in today for a little more Power. Following list was installed.

Car was dropped off first thing this morning and is ready to tune by 3:30pm. Talk about a transformation in 1 day!

Begin the transformation.

I don't need any of this but thanks for offering it to the community at such steep discounts with everything installed. Sounds like a killer deal for those who are local. Thank you!

I just got my Stance suspension done at Rev Works this morning. I am very happy with the result. Here are a few pics...

Before....


After (50mm lower)


And a few others during the install...

Front still in the box awaiting some anti-seize (these are using the 6k springs currently and they included 7k springs as well, just in case I want them later)


Rear sitting on the table, ready to go in



And installed...






Once the install was complete I stayed out in the shop with the guy who did the install (I didn't get his name but he was a very cool guy) and we started at a 1" drop. He re-installed the wheels and I wanted to go lower so we weighed the pros and cons of a 50mm drop so he put the car back in the air and took all the wheels off and went down .5", then reinstalled everything and dropped it off the lift to see if I liked it. I apologized and said that I would like to go a little lower (no wheel tuck, just low enough to close the gap). His response was, "Hey man, no worries. This is what I get paid to do and I'll keep making changes until you are happy with it." Like I said, awesome crew.

The ride is certainly different. It is stiffer than stock for sure but not like riding in a kart. The dampers are set in the middle so it isn't a bone-jarring ride around town. But the handling... wowzers!

I was heading home and turning right on a green turn arrow and took the corner at a decent clip (nothing ridiculous) behind a line of other cars turning right, and was going to swing wide as I left the apex of the corner for a smooth turn. Until... I see the grill of a police car that was making a U-turn (and not slowly either) without lights or siren. I jerked the wheel hard right and the car stuck to the inside lane like it was on a slot car track with no hesitation. (Cop sped off)

I was debating between Titan Motorsports and Rev Works for my car and I am glad that I went with RW. Titan is a big money operation and puts out great work but it didn't feel as personal. RW has the same quality but much more down-to-earth. And, with all of the Scoobies around their shop, it is obvious that they specialize in our car and boxers in general. Highly recommended shop Too bad I am moving in two weeks to the opposite end of the country

PS. Sorry if I blew out your eardrums when you got in the car Matt

Awesome review. I could see someone getting bothered by someone asking them to dial in their suspension. That's impressive and goes a long way towards customer satisfaction and getting people to come back.

HAHAH no worries man, that setup sounded great!!

I do appreciate the review and i am very pleased to see your excitement and satisfaction with the new suspension.

We pride ourselves on the work we produce and as Chris (tech who worked on your car) said, its what we here for, so we will do whatever it takes to make our customer happy with the final product! I am sad to see you go (and jealous at the same time!) but you'll be able to tell all the Cali folk of your awesome shop back in FL .

Well technically we can get the car finished same day so it wouldn't need to stay overnight

Let me know if you want to talk options
