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.

Got the spec sheet.
I requested: camber -1.2 Caster +4.5 Toe .1 out I got: Camber -.8/-1.2 Caster +4.6/+4.6 Toe .12/.2 They also weren't able to flush all the fluid out of the brake system (miscommunication). They just bled the brakes and wondered why I left them two new cans of ATE Blue next to the case of Mobil 1 and oil filter. So I still have two cans of ATE that I would like to put in the car. |
