Cape Cod Run 2 / Install Day

sorry didn't make it doen today, got caought up in a bunch of stuff i put off for the last week, how did the spring install go? and did you get chris wheels on??
 
Had to do a little drilling action for Oleg's new struts, and some grinding of the calipers to fit the rims on Chris's MS6. All went well. Pics coming soon. We missed you bro.

chris, the car looks nice! are you going to drop it as well?

Ditto, how much did you have to grind off the calipers to clear? Where the fronts or backs the worst?

Oleg, nice drop. The car looks mean.
 
Hey guys thanks for the run! it was a beautiful day, and Jess and I had a great time. The only thing I forgot to do was get a little cape cod euro for my car. oh darn, looks like we'll have to come back out again! :)
I'll post some pics later, gotta run and do some mother's day stuff!
 
I already ordered the springs so yes I will drop it. It looks nice without the drop but I hate wheel gap. I may have to roll the fenders a little too, I've got to research that to see whether people were rolling with 18x8+48.

We shaved off about 1/4" of steel from the caliper going back about 1". I kind of notched it out with the grinder then smoothed off the edges. You can't tell they are grinded at all with the wheels on.
 
it was nice hanging out and thanks everyone for all the help!

my alignment is way out of whack, will have to fix that soon.
 
Great fun guys!
Sorry I couldn't stay longer.

Nice to meet Jess, Serg and FireDawg (sorry I am so bad with names).
 
Nice to meet everybody, I had a great time. Hope to do more fun runs throughout the summer. If anybody needs any help with installs again, i'm always up for it. I don't know much about this, but i'm always looking to learn more.
