My god. One month lead time?!

BoostinIX · 01-29-2013, 08:46 PM

Lol. Len's times vary. Best thing is to go talk to him (appointment link on his site) and he can give you updated times. That post was back in November :P Time will also depend on the size and what you want done.

Forgot to mention he also did my ceramic coating.

Installed the FnA TBL (Kit 3) A Bit of a Pain but did a few extra things while I was at it, reverse lights and VHT Nightshaded it

I feel like @BoostinIX would know about this (because racesilvia).

Wouldn't powder coating the wheels affect their integrity?

kanundrum · 01-30-2013, 10:07 AM

I still say plastidip em! Lol

Marcoscrdo · 01-30-2013, 10:08 AM

If done improperly powder coating can in fact embrittle wheels. The temperature has to be controlled very carefully and is generally lower than your typical powder coating job. Figure Finishing hits all those buttons on the FAQ section of their site which I haven't seen from other shops...

Len's really good at answering all the questions and talking about the process/choices.

Why are the spring rates on the Eibach different between the FRS and BRZ?

Spring rates are different between the two cars stock. Eibach provides a drop and stiffer springrate while retaining the character of the two cars. Swift is the same way.
