No that is where i got my rims and spacers from. The work is being done by Ryan at Tech One Customs. Revision is mainly a audio/security, wheel and suspension shop. He will roll fenders but nothing big like the work that i am doing. That is a great shop.

Pardon the ignorance but I'm assuming that's one of the many steps to pulling the fenders out? At first I thought they were just smashing away at your fender.
As you can tell I don't know too much about bodywork

I think first the pound it out to stretch the metal as much as possible or to get it to fit over the wheels, i think they than fill it or smooth it out and than sand it down. This may not always be the process, I think each shop has their own techniques. But i do know that the wheels can tuck like it use to when i had the works.

YEAH !!! That's what I'm talking about...
Thanks for sharing and letting us experience this build with you...
Most likely a dolley is going to used to smooth out the actual metal to it's final shape 'cause you want minimal body filler on your quarter panel.

correct i am still on a thin wall tires and the ride may be harsh. I havent been able to drive the car with the new wheels on since i mounted them on the car a day before the car went into the shop. But i do know that being on air has helped the ride be smooth and comfortable.

air runners have 4 levels of stiffness its up to you on how you want the ride to be. I personally like a softer smoother ride. But you can choose your personal preference when you install the strut. Here's more info Air Runner

sorry, i misunderstood you but the stiffest setting on air runner is most likely not the same stiffness as coilovers but i rather have the ride comfortable than stiff and harsh on my back. I been there with coilovers and to me coilovers are more performance oriented than they are for comfort which is why i am glad i went with air. Maybe Rodney can answer your question better than i can since he uses a different setting than me.
