So I'm replacing my lowered springs with a set of regular ride height springs that I got from gman.
So I took the old struts off and took the struts to a shop to replace the springs.
I got the struts back and this is what I got back.
They claim that the strut was ':q:q:q:qed up' and that the screw at the top was bent. So they stripped nearly the entire top of the strut and gave me this back.
Considering even having this strut around me is dangerous as hell I have to order a new strut. Plus they lost a mount (the top part) and say they gave it back to me.
On top of all this they didn't place the mounts correctly so that the strut's actually go in the car. They've told me to use a bar to twist the strut and pound in the bold to the lower control arm simultaneously. (which I didn't have to do the first time I had this done.)
I mean cumon people.. how hard is this.
So I'm without a car for 3-7 days. Yay...
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUu
edit: Just curious. If anyone knows. Are the regular size springs supposed to be a smaller diameter than the lowered springs? My lowered springs have a higher diameter and these guys at the shop said the lowered springs held much more force (and therefore better). And yes I know this is a general question as there are many springs out there so if I were to guess I'm guessing this was an arnott coil-over set. ( the struts are completely bad..no recoil. lol )
