so i started my coilover install on monday. I barely finished today.
My car ate 2 tie rod ends. The alignment shop told me my rear camber kit was "bent" so i told them to get it as close as the can till i can get the parts in and replace them and re align them so they did. I made a WTB thread as soon as i got home from getting my car.
after i made that post i drove 2 mins to the barber shop and the rear arm that was "bent" stripped out the only 5 threads that was holding it on, on the wheel side which is why they said it was "bent" when it was just backed out too much on one side. so when i arrived at the barber shop my tire was resting on the inside frame wheel well and i had to do some surgery in the grocery store parking lot. what makes it worse is that i gave it to them with 10 thread on each side so i have no damn clue what they did and why they did that.
i called them and notified them of my situation and gave them an ear full. I think i hurt their business pretty good seeing as how my car is pretty popular with the local car crowd here in town. I did get them to replace the kit and reimburse me and they even offered to do another alignment after i reinstalled the parts.I told them im going elsewhere.
thanks a lot for your pm's tho had they not covered it i would have had a lot of kits to choose froom. ephatch fam and friends who at a phone call show up with tools and jacks FTMFW
