[Absolut Speed]

I had the coil-overs put in Friday. I put new pads and rotors in over the weekend. Scheduled an alignment and brake flush for today.

Just got a call that the car is too low to get on the alignment rack or even on the hoist to do the brake bleed. I asked how much clearance they were short, explained the coil overs, but the service advisor told me the owner said to park the car and not touch it.

So I start calling around in my smaller city and am having no luck finding someone who can get a car with a lowered stance. GM dealer says he has a hard time with stock vehicles with running boards, so he can't help. Big tire chain says they can't do the brale bleed, and they want $89.99 for a custom alignment.

Hmm....find one along the way? Maybe you can locate one on the internet and schedule to be there early.

I can talk you through bleeding your brakes on the phone. It is really easy. I can PM you my cell number and you can call me at 5:30 Eastern time (as I get off work) and I'll talk you through it. Head for the garage, remove the right rear wheel, get a helper, a foot or so of vacuum line (or clear line from the autoparts store) and an empty plastic bottle (bottled water bottles work well) and brake fluid. If that works for you, let me know, I'll send a number.
