Remind me to talk to you at the meetup on Sunday. I need a LOT of stuff done. Most of it I can do myself but I don't have tools or a lift in my little apartment.

Hey Darren, with these guys that are driving in out of town to install springs and coilovers, how are they straightening out their alignments before heading back on the hwy?

Just curious since I have to do the same thing and install my coilovers at a friends place three cities over.

Most of the cars that we lower are just getting 1-1.3" drops and are completely safe to drive home without an alignment.

Two more spring installs went down on Saturday. A girl named Julie brought her blue BRZ in for a set of Megan springs that we removed from @alliedcam1 and then a dude named Chris had us throw on a set of Manzo springs.

Sorry, but I've had to limit shop use to a few trusted people. The last few times I loaned out the shop I ended up having to spend too much time cleaning up.
