@DarrenDriven
I'm in on this, need to swap out my OEM struts in to another OEM strut that is almost new. Good opportunity to see the difference on the ride, after being on springs for 25k miles on stock struts.

What day are we doing this? Days I can't are: May 21 - 25.

The shop is temporarily closed. I am having some work done on the house and I had to move a LOT of stuff from the basement into the shop, so there is hardly any room in there for anything right now. Until further notice, all shop time has been cancelled.

I'll let ya know when I get it cleared out... hopefully very soon!

I may need to schedule some shop time when you get everything done. I've got a lot of work to do on my car now that my parts are all showing up. I may even need to do another suspension job if I can decide on coilovers.

I hope it's sooner than later...coilovers are here, tires arrive today, and wheels on Monday. Leaving all that stuff in the garage for another month would be torture

Coilovers? Our ten-day is springs only... we can do your coilovers whenever you want. Just text/PM me when you are ready to go.

I can still do suspension work if I pull my cars out, just the lift and back half of the shop is a no-go.

As long as you don't need the lift, or much room, I can still get you in here. Just text me.

Yeah, I got a good deal on some Tein Street Flex coilovers so I skipped the GC/Eibach options for now. Had to save $ for the RPF1's

Are weekends or weekdays better for you?

Well I will put you down as a maybe... ya never know, once we get more people the date may change. If you ever want to come down a separate day to get them installed that is always an option as well.
