I brought it back to them today and when the took a look at it, to their surprise one of the bolts from my rear shock tower had broken off?? After 1 hour they fixed it as good as new and it is still riding/looking great.
Just think though, I drove over 100 miles on only one rear shock bolt. Wow

Glad nothing bad happened to you or your ride.

No, the Orlando shop!!
I have not had any problems/noises since they replaced the bolt!!

and that's why i did the suspension swap myself.......after reading the diy instructions 3-5 times....i said to myself i can do this.........torqued everyting down and 20,000 miles later, no problems.....nothing wrong with taking it to a shop, just wanted to eliminate the x factor.........
lucky it held up with one bolt and alls well now.

to you know what to torque everything down too?(wheres the DIY?)
thanks
naaaaaaah, I believe the issue is isolated to my vehicle. Rudy has done work to so many cars including his own!
I did not notice the sound untill I put the 19's on. I torqued down my wheels too 100 ft/lbs. I am really not sure what it is, but I will bring it to Rudy's and check again. Maybe I am imagining it. Its not loud like how vrsc describes it...you really have to listen to it.
thanks

RZ Tampa hooked my G to Z spring setup without a problem. Fast, furious and affordable. I chatted with another customer in the waiting room that was getting a turbo and engine management on his acura and he had nothing but good things to say. I would definitely go there again.
