If I get my STi (or possibly other) springs by then, I'd be interested to come lower the car and just hang out. Will keep posted.

Strong "Maybe"

I just ordered Pro Street Coil-overs from Speed-by-Design. If they are delivered in time, I'd like to join the "group install." Let me know if there is room in the schedule.

Do you have a referral for a good alignment shop near your shop? If it were to work out, I'd like to get an alignment done in the afternoon before heading back north to Olympia.

If we end up getting more than seven spring installs on the list then we aren't going to do any coilovers because they take longer... but at this point we can fit you in. $60 to install coilovers (plus my beer, of course). I'll throw you on the end of the list with a note that you have coilovers and if they show up in time then sure, we can get you in.

Look up "lineup shop" on Google Maps and give them a shout. I don't know how late they are open on Saturdays.

I know that we only charge $20 more than installing lowering springs, but that is because the coilovers are brand new and easy to adjust... after time they usually get grime in the threads and are slightly more work to adjust. Just like above, if we don't get near ten spring installs on Saturday then we can do coilover adjustments as well.

Most of this money is going to Tyler's car fund... so you can feel good that you are helping him earn!

Completely understand about my work being a "maybe" -- springs get priority. And.. I looked up Line-up Shops.. only open M-F.

There are some other shops with alignment racks nearby... when I head out later I will get their contact info and see if they are open on Sat.

@BRZPDX and @thehapaone came over this afternoon. Kohei had Tyler swap in some "younger" OEM struts to improve his ride (thanks to @digital_assassin ) and Brandon stole swapped his Tom's tails for Kohei's.

Thanks for checking around -- appreciate it! IF it works out to come down, I'll see what I can arrange in way of a 12:30-1:00 appointment at Alignment World.
