That was a pretty smooth install. But the more I think about that mod we had to do on the bushings the dumber that seemed. It would be so simple for them to mold new bushings.

All of the above comments are valid, but cutting any stop is really just a "band aid" remedy. The stop is really just a small "spring" and cutting not only changes the length, but the rate. If the budget allowed, the correct approach would be to design and manufacture a correct stop for EACH exact spring/shock combination. But since these are normally produced in manufacturing runs in the tens of thousands, the cost for a small run would push the per unit price out the roof! Ah, the ugly business side of things always spoils the fun.

Man that sucks, and we were so careful not to scratch them and then they go and mess it up. Are they gonna get the attachement or do u have to go somewhere else? Sorry to here that, but you still have a week to be bumpin' in G's ride.

Well just got back from NTB and it wasn't 1 rim it was 3 maybe all 4. They are supposed to be getting the attachement and then I will let them align it and then they keep the car for 2 more days to send the rims off to get fix....what a BITCH!!!!
