Finally had a chance to clean the living room so here is what it looks like with the furniture.

Nitpicking here, but you really have to include the cost of the tein springs in the build, since you wouldn't have those springs without em

Also, I think that's my laptop.

not really. the tein springs were going on regardless. he put something to use that most people end up throwing away. its a really classy piece that makes swapping out stuff on a brand new car almost justifiable.

Well...I originally was going to use my dads 04 Cavalier springs since he decided to get his struts/springs replaced but I couldnt get the strut top loose and the springs were in worse condition, obviously after 150k miles. Then I figured I wont go back to stock anytime soon, and if I do I will just buy someone else's considering there are a million "stock suspension" for sale threads.

And thats my company laptop its an HP EliteBook 8440p

Yeah I have an extended battery too, I have had it for about 2 years and showing some wear as far as battery life, but I still get about a good 7 hours out of the laptop

Here is a few more pictures of the detail. The front springs are 1 inch longer than the rear so I went to Menards and walked around aimlessly until I walked past the wood decor section. They had 5 1/2 x 1" decrative wood plates that worked perfectly as i just used the back side anyways. Then I used some 3/8" connectors to screw in the springs. The 6x6 wood beams are stained with an ebony stain and the plates were spraypainted(the stain wasnt taking well with the wood plates).

The rods going through are 7/16" with matching nuts and washers.
