Lowering Day & BBQ POSTPONED!
 

Last year Tyler and I lowered eight cars in one day at my SE Portland shop. This year we want to break that record!

I'm can get price breaks on lowering springs, so if you are thinking of lowering your car in the near future then shout out here and let's start sorting it out.

Sorry guys, something immovable came up on the May 2nd weekend. I will have to reschedule for June. Grrrr.

You didn't say it was limited to 86s, does this mean you'll help me cut the springs on my SAAB? Someone told me my current lowering solution isn't "safe" :D

:cheers:

Thanks, sent him an email :party0030:

I can't get hooked up on RCE, but that CL ad looks like a great deal. I contacted him as well, to buy those if you don't. :)

I've got both of you guys on the list... let me know if you want to get pulled off of it.

Picked up the RCE Yellow's for @Andrew025, so they are here at the shop waiting for his car -- assuming it doesn't tip over first. :)



...cause it's so tall. Get it?




.

I don't get it.

Are you doing coil overs to? Or just springs?

i want to come :(

Depends on how many people we get signed up. I want to do just springs because they are faster... with coils you have to install them, remove the jacks, measure, throw it back up and adjust the coils, then you can call it complete. If we don't get too many people on the list then I would consider some coilover installs, too.

I have some Eibach Pro Kits on stock struts if someone wants to just swap out stock for lowered unless Darren doesn't want that in which case PM me or you know I can have Darren Remove them and install them on your struts ;)

What about getting some tails sprayed red while lowering ;) would love to come out to hang and that gives a good excuse

Brandon, do you want to store those at my house with a For Sale tag on them? I will definitely be able to move them for you... then I could return to you the stock struts that came off the noob's car.

I won't have any time to spare during the lowering process. I had to force myself to take a 30 minute break in the middle for pizza during the last marathon install.

I don't mind spraying some tails for you some other time, though. PM or text me!

I missed the last event. I would love to attend this one to hang out and meet the new kids on the block!!

I'm thinking I'll do the same thing if I'm not busy that day.

If I'm not working or can switch with someone I might make an appearance

NO

I'm thinking about driving down for this to get the RCE Yellows installed.
Would you guys be able to install the rear camber adjustment bushing kit as well then?

Is it the RCE rear camber bushing kit? That requires removal of the upper control arm... not something I want to tackle on a day where we are doing many installs in a row. We could do that some other day, probably. I haven't installed one of those yet... does it need a press? I don't have one.

It is.
Sounds like it needs an air hammer.
I'm still not sure I really want/need that camber kit.

Alright, I think I will be coming to get just the springs installed.
Please add me to the list.

SI

Gotcha!

I 2nd this motion.

third

Motion has been denied.

Lol people look like they just want an excuse to hang out and booze.

When is this event?

This event doesn't have a date yet, depends on getting at least eight people signed up for getting their cars lowered.

At this rate. People might end up making their own time slots and seeing you Darren

If I remember correctly the upper control arm and the toe arm both need a press to remove the existing bushings. Same with the front. Most other non-suspension bushings don't need a press, like differential and steering rack. I have all the bushings, and while cheap to buy you pay a little in labor. This is why some people spend more on a new adjustable rear control arm and install it themselves. Costs about the same either way, unless you have a shop install the rear control arms then they cost more.

I'm in for the BBQ portion if this thing happens. I can help people with installing stuff as well since I've installed everything but my supercharger.

I haven't been over in ages so I'll make it whenever this happens.

Yeah, either way I will throw a BBQ in Spring... it would just be fun to time it with another lowering day. I had a good time last year.

Let's schedule this soon.
My springs arrived today :)
