Depending how busy I am at work tomorrow, I might be putting on Z suspension (revised) and going back to stock intake.

School has kept me away from driver too long.

Props to Stephen (r1forever80) for painting my car last week! Looks flawless! Thanks for the fast turnaround.

Can't wait to detail within the next couple of weeks!!

No, mainly the hood and then blending the fenders from when I taped my car on my trip to Waco. Long story short, the tape got wet and took some of the paint with it when I took it off when I got back

Hey guys I have a question...

This weekend I had stephen put my rear SPC camber arms and toe bolts on. Well today I dropped my car off at NTB to have it realigned as my rear camber is at -3.5 and -3.6. I picked up my car and the rear camber hadn't been changed at all so I asked the tech why he couldn't get me back in spec.

He then proceeded to talk to my like I was a complete idiot and told me if he were to adjust the camber since my car is dropped 1.7in that the rear fenders would shred my tires and he wouldn't be held responsible for that. He is saying that since I am dropped that there is absolutely no way he can get my camber any closer back into spec even though I have the rear camber kit.

Is there something im missing here? I thought the rear camber kit was designed to help me get back into spec. Is he just bullshitting me?

Stop expecting a place that works on minivans to work on a customized vehicle. Take it to Dallas Frame and Alignment or Cobb Tuning

When I was running 19x11's the best they could do was -2.2 without my wheels touching the fender

Dae not sure where you live, but you can take it to Affordable Automotive in McKinney. That's where I work. We aligned Jack Tam's car (Lord Fappington, correct me if I'm wrong) his car is slammed, and got it back in spec.
