@DarrenDriven I just moved to a new apartment and they don't allow people to work on their cars there... Stoked I came across this thread and saw that you open up your garage to others. That's Awesome! I might be hittin you up soon to do a trans and diff fluid swap.

My lift is currently buried because of my renovation... hoping that by the end of the year I will have it all finished and I can get the garage cleaned out!

Great thread! What does it take to get my car to look like this? I like how the wheel wells are filled up. Is that just lowering or different tires or what?

It's a combination of everything. But lowering is the biggest part of it. That car is probably lowered like 2", which you'll need coilovers for as I don't think there are any springs on the market that give that big of a drop. Eibach sportline springs do like 1.5" which might be close enough for your needs. Stock wheels lowered, will appear sunken into the wheel well, that's where spacers come in or new wheels with a lower offset and/or wider width. Most tires with a sidewall rating 45 or less should work with no rubbing issues.

This past week saw @BRZPDX in the shop to swap wheels on his RS4, and @wrohdejr getting some LCAs installed.

Had a kid come down from Longview with his 2006 Eclipse the other day. Brought some no-name eBay springs, so we installed them. Hehe.

@kevintran was back in the shop again (3rd time!!) for another suspension swap. This time we pulled off the Eibach Sportlines and installed some Stance Super Sport coilovers.

A semi changed lanes into Rickey's ol' BRZ so he replaced it with this brand new WRX. Tyler installed some Swift springs for him. Looking good!

Oh yeah, Tyler installed that last set solo in about 35 minutes and was pretty proud of that. I asked if he wanted a trophy...

Thanks for putting on my springs. I barely finished my beer when Tyler put on the last wheel. LCA and camber bolts are on their way so I'll be back soon.
