No longer a roller

..Well, that was easy!

After selling off a set of tires from Tamra's daily, we met up with a local bugeye owner, chatted for a while & sold him a few parts. We had someone anxious to get ahold of the Tein Coilovers that were on the car, so we got it up onto jackstands about as a massive thunderstorm rolled through. Luckily, the wind was going away from the garage opening.

We pulled off the wheels, WOW they were on tight. Took my impact gun some time to get them free. We'll be inspecting those studs before the 818 goes together, but initial impressions were no obvious damage.
The screwed on clips for the brake & ABS lines came off easily- first good sign! Then we removed the top nuts for the camber plates, also easy, and the strut began to drop down away from the frame. Looks like we got lucky, and the suspension's static droop is more than the length of these coils!

The spindle/hub connections to the coilovers came off quickly with the impact gun too, and then it was free! Repeat 3x. The whole job might have taken a half hour. I was shocked, and very happy about that!

Suspension at full droop- no tension on the brake cables,
but we won't leave it this way for too long.

We wiped them down to see what we would be trying to sell, and got a nice surprise, they're Tein Super Street as opposed to the expected Street Basis. The labels are faded, but they have the damping adjustment knob on the top. They also seem to have Cusco rear camber plates & Tein front camber plates.
