We swapped in the Eibach springs from the silver car, with no spacers. 

The brakes on it were crusty as hell, so I swapped the calipers and such off of the silver car onto FUCC. By crusty, I mean that the rears calipers were frozen and had to get beaten off with a sledgehammer, and the fronts worked for a generous value of worked. It's my understanding that stock for stock swaps are free, and brakes are free anyhow, so no budget hit on that.

It's also going to wear the WRX wheels and tires. Tires are free, but the wheels are a $50 ding to the budget.

I think it might be mobile under its own power by late Sunday- the brakes really need to be bled, since it got swap pieces at all four corners. 

In any event, I think I'm sitting at an $850 car at the moment. 

Once it's mobile, we'll start chasing down any gremlins it has, and when I'm motivated to do so, I'll update with some photos.

Random build photos.

Disgusting brake fluid.

 

Crusty brakes on somewhat newer rotors?

As an aside, when we were swapping the suspension, we did the front first. The rear was still lifted, and it had a bit of rake to the stance that really looked pretty good. 

I'll post a photo of that when I get one from my team mate.
