Auto crossin at Laguna Seca! Look at that high G turn with little to no body roll. All thanks to my custom built FatCat Suspension. Only cost me 200 bucks and whats even funnier is I'm running stock sway bars too! XD TRY AND BEAT THAT!

So a bit of background. I got my S4 FC in highschool to be different from everyone else who either got riced out civics or had parent sponsored Scoobies, Evos, and Supras. And it worked for a while. But as time passed I realized my 7 was nice but not amazing or a head turner in anyway. Which made me remember Amemiya's FC2000. So after a 2013 Benz kissed my 7's ass I got the money I needed for the kit of my dreams!

These boxes are HUGE. Inspected everything and the kit was safe and sound. Only small scuffs and hair line cracks in the primer.

ITS ARRIVED! Arrived in about three days, shipped from Nevada to to the Silicon Valley. Cool thing was the company I ordered from shipped it directly from Nevada so that I could avoid paying CA sales tax. When sales tax is about 9% it saved me hundreds.

I wanted a duraflex bumper because I needed the STRONGEST bumper. Knowing that I would be tracking and auto crossing the 7 alot more afterwards.

So after chiseling off the rear bumper I placed it next to the new one and you can see the difference in size instantly. The old bumper was the S4 bumper with another Aftermarket bumper MOLDED ON TOP OF IT! Dunno why it was done like that but I sure will be doing it differently.

SOOOOOO~ this car was never hit but it sure was owned by an idiot at one point. This section of the car behind the rear wheel was lowered onto a Jackstand. Crumpling it upwards. You can see the bottom middle that was pushed up with the arch shaped creases where it folded above.

Decided to work on the rear first because I new there there was more to be done like chiseling off the MOLDED 10mm flares and rear bumper.

Transferring over the OE bumper mounts. At first there was concern about the mounting flaps not having enough material to have complete holes but it was fine in the end.

My friend insisted that I get a photo of him working on the car. So I let him grind a few things off when fitting the fenders.

The cut outs for the head lights were very straight forward. Just cut some slots with a dremel while eyeballing and cutting in steps.

This is the only cutting of the headlight area that needed to be done in order to fit the lights. Retained all other bolt holes and mounts. Added an arch at the top to get the headlight level
