Mod Day :) Tracy, CA

Hey I'll be receiving some Sportline Springs soon and was wondering if someone or some people want to get together in the Tracy, CA area and just hang out and Mod our cars and have a couple beers!

Why?
I have zero experience modding cars pretty much so I'd love to not fuck up and hang with some people as I learn and lower this damn thing!
and I have tools but not too many and not sure if I can rent everything from AutoZone

Basically someone help me! or someone(s) and lets have a couple beers. I'll buy the beers

IPA's anyone?

Tracy is a bit far for me, but I've always enjoy install days, or Install Fests as I call them.

You have a BBQ?

Highly suggest buying/renting spring compressors and a pass through socket set. Two most important tools when you're installing springs

You actually dont need springs compressors. I have done a few sets now without them.

Second this. Pass through socket set will make your install much easier. I was using a regular socket set and it made the job a lot more longer than it should've taken.

Everyone,

No BBQ unfortunately but I can ask my mom to make bomb Indian food for a change of "food scenery" haha unless you guys also eat Indian food on the regular.

I can only provide beer and bluetooth speakers haha

and yeah ill see if i can rent jacks and jack stands, if not I know I can get some from friends.

Also I want to do the install without that air wrench gun thing (the one that makes your shocks blown after install of sportlines )

I can bring a jack and jack stands, they're just heavy and was hoping to avoid it. Lol

I have the pass through sockets and long allen keys to do the job right.

I love Indian food. At least the Indian food I've had around here. I asked about the BBQ because cars bring people together, but so does good food. Depending on what day you were planning to do your springs, I was thinking I might come out and grill and hang out!
