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.

I'm the only Firehawk signed up. Guess I'm the only owner in the region gutsy/dumb enough to show up for the event. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I had a blast last year, and this year I invited my Dad to come along as a way to say thanks since I got a pretty decent car gene from him. The only thing that scares me is he was a drag racer and then a cop, so I'm fully expecting to come away from Elkhart Lake towing my mangled car behind a U-Haul. And I found a place in the neighboring town over the lunch hour. I just got a call, they could only get my driver's camber to -0.9 hmmm... |
