Carlos4s,

I don't want to throw the first shop "under the bus" but because I live in SD I like to know who it is so that I don't make the same mistake. Thanks

Carlos,

Sorry to hear about the nightmare. I can't believe that shop could be so incompetent. One thing to note. PSS9 max stiff is actually 1, it's opposite. I know confusing.

Oh my God. Carlos, I am glad you were no hurt by what could have been a serious problem (not that this is not serious, but personal safety is always first with me). We had discussed some of the issues with the place that did the work, but I can not imagine what they could have been thinking. Clearly they were not thinking and put you in harms way. I am glad you found a shop that can help you fix some these issues and get you back on the road...

Carlos,

UFB. I'm glad you didn't have a major accident with all of the pieces that were loose.

How can you not figure out the way to install something that bolts on like the TRG bars.?.?.?...LOL

Simply unbelievable. I went into my suspension install with ZERO previous experience and it seemed pretty damn straightforward to me. Shops like that shouldn't exist.

Happy to hear that everything will be corrected and nothing terrible happened on your journeys in between.

9 is the SOFTEST setting on PSS9's not the maximun setting.
Get your facts straight.

GJ, Carlos myabe wrong on his 1-9 settings but he still asked to have them set mid point and they did not do that.

Carlos, What shop are you using here in town? Carls Place? Kent over at Premier?

Carlos,
While we're all glad nothing truly horrendous occured to you, please post the name of the shop so the rest of us can make an informed decision when getting work done. I'm in the DC area now but call SD home, don't want my first experience back in the area to end like yours. I am going to DIY this mod but have learned enough from the board to help me in my decision regarding who to go to for alignment and corner balance. The SD shop you used couldn't even get that part right! Thanks.

I've heard Mind over Motorsports in San Diego does great work. You may want to go by their shop and check it out.
