Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs 30K Mile Review

In February of 2019 one of our crew members snagged a new Honda Civic Sport hatchback in a 6 speed manual. Six weeks later it was lowered on Eibach Sportline lowering springs. Priorities. Three years and 30 thousand miles later and we’re still sporting an ear to ear grin every time we take it for a ride. Eibach Sportline Install Overall the difficulty level for a spring install is intermediate. Installation on suspension components can be daunting if you’ve never done it but it isn’t exactly the most complicated process either. The most attention and care must be taken when...

Ride Rundown SEMA Edition Part 4 - Street & Track Cars

Just because almost everything you have seen from us so far has been lifted, does not mean we don’t love a good street car or track weapon.

We figured what better way to conclude our tour through our favorite SEMA rides than by indulging our often neglected love for a select few corner carvers? Although most of these builds seem somewhat unattainable, they are more simple than they let on, and we...

Ride Rundown SEMA Edition Part 3 - Old School Off-Road Reimagined

Undoubtedly one of the coolest parts about technology moving forward is to see how it gets applied and retrofitted to “outdated equipment.” There is always something cool about a classic. However, just because it is old does not mean it has to drive like clapped-out antiquated Mid-Century garbage. No question, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi about the raw unmuted way older cars wallow along the road, but wouldn’t it be much better if the thing boogied? Especially if you can still retain just a little bit of that soul. I know many of you out there have something...

Ride Rundown SEMA Edition Part 1 - Baja Rigs

SEMA 2021, Automotive Overload After trolling the many halls of the 2021 Ford Bronco Show, I mean the SEMA trade show, we thought it was only fair to share some of the awesome rigs and rides that stood out to us. We undoubtedly fell in love with heaps of builds; however, the further we journeyed through the jam-packed show and the more Sabretts hot dogs we ate, the more we realized that if you didn’t know what to look for, you wouldn’t have half a shot of knowing what you were looking at. We have hopes that this series will...
