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.

QUOTE (Absolut Speed @ Apr 15 2004, 10:11 AM) The procrastination part is that I leave for Road America in 24 hours, so this isn't exactly the best time to teach myself to bleed brakes. No NTB here, our only big name place is Tires Plus. You're going to be at Road America? Cool! I'll see you there! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |
