wow nice deal jake..

I adjusted my coils, lowered the car some, and got it aligned today. frisco NTB has a nice inground alignment rack.

wasn't happy about my making an apointment at 1:00pm and coming in and having to wait on a car that was on the rack. didn't start the alignment till 1:30 and didnt finish till about 2:30, the guy who was doing it must have been a trainee because he didn't know how to adjust my rear camber arms, he kept spinning the camber bolt and I had to explain to him that he needed to tighten the arm to get it in spec

I swear, I think next time I just want to bring my wrenches and align it myself, I just need their lift and the sensors

How did you know one of the struts was blown? What'd they do?
