reet, i've been waitin months to lower my car and lastnight was the last night of waiting, finished my 12 hour shift at work...got home @ 7:30am...no time for sleep, I set off for the garage in rush hour traffic @ 9, got there @ 10, left the guy with my spax PSX suspension kit @ the keys to my car, came home, went to bed and dreamt of how good she'd look -40mm
woke upm got down to the garage at 3:30 ish, she was sat there on her arse, paid the guy got in...drove down the road with a big grin my face...until, I heard a grimising knock @ commin form the front left arch when I went over any kind of uneven road surface...flagged my dad down (who was tailin me) he came and had a lookm I ended up driving him back to the garage with this constant rattling knock in the background, got out of the car, my dad got out....as he opened to door it caught on the front quater pannel and bent it in slightly, guys from the garage came over..blah blah blah...a body guy bend the indent out of the quater pannel, now onto the knocking?!?! everyone was stumped, worryingly for me the mechanic had a disheartened look on his face.......took the wheel off...every thing was in order and tight, it seemed to be the anti-roll bar catching under the chassis...anyway, after a long discussion and numerous phone calls, the mechanic said that the only possible thing that could be wrong is the spring kit the Spax supplied !??!, so he suggested ordering a new spring kit from his contacts and take the spax back to...Halfords for a refund ;o
currently my car is still @ the garage awaiting an AVO adjustable susp to arrive, he's gonna fit them (free of charage) and if the problem is sorted, which is swears will be, he's gonna continue on to fit the back shocks for nowt
personally I have little car knowledge...what u lot think?
and how the fuck did the door catch??!?!? really pissed me off, luckily now theres only a small mark where the paints come off smileys/smiley13.gif smileys/smiley19.gif smileys/smiley5.gif
