Does your 16 y/o work on jeeps? 84CJ7.
Last I checked he was drinking dark beers.

What would you guys recommend for a DD that won't see track days? Obviously there will be some spirited driving, but I don't envision myself ever tracking the car. I simply want a drop for aesthetics without taking away from the way the car rides OEM.

Youre welcome to drive mine if ur looking for 1.5 inches of drop. If u want a less stanced look, hands down get RCE yellows. If they were lower I would have them over what I have for sure. I want 2.5 inches of drop tho and plan on getting there on coils soon.

I love pretty much every ale, so don't worry about bringing something I won't like. Micro mixpacks are always welcome as then I get some of the seasonal varieties, too. More obscure beers are also appreciated as I have pretty much every common brew in the fridge as it is.

On the Jeep thing, nah, I've trained Tyler to lower 86s and he can practically do it blindfolded now... but he doesn't have much experience on anything else.

question, after the Eibach prokit springs installed, do you need camber?

I actually just placed an order for an Eibach Sport-Plus kit and am starting to think about where I was going to do this. Would this be something you guys might consider?

That's swaybars and springs, right? Yeah, we could do that... but not on this install day. PM me when you are ready to install and we can find you a good time.

I might need an hour or two eventually this month to put on my lip and side skirts.

Friday late afternoon would be best. Text me when you are ready to get over here and I'll see if I can swing it.
