90k maintenance + brand new lower control arms (installed) plus new wheels studs because apparently somebody overtorqued alot of mine and they broke off when the guy was taking of my lug nuts at the shop + installing my front and rear camber arms and an alignment + fixing my projecters that had blown hid modules

Saved ALOT of money going through Pete though, great guy

your passengers window wouldnt go all the way up at all... every time i tried it would hit the top and then roll all the way back down so i had to inch it until it sealed the cab off


hardest thing was trying to figure out how to get the damn key out of the ignition LOL Mr. Wanabe6mt

i really didnt wana have to call Rachel but i had exhausted all other ideas.... it was simple once i knew but i could have never guessed

might be taking it back Saturday, looking forward to seeing it after the alignment going to ride 100x better, took an exit at 60mph and slip light came on bc too much camber, i can take same curve at 90+ and no slip

Meaty tires: 1
Stretched Tires: 0

he just dont like messing with the SPC arms they take a while to align bc you have to take the car up and down so many times and i think he had trouble making the nut stay tight on mine but hes the kind of guy that wont quit an will use all the tricks in the bag to make it happen
