Yeah, the auto hobby shop on base would be easy enough, but I'm in Brantford, and will be until the 2nd week of September. I decided to go and get the suspension kit installed at Main West Firestone/Bullas Automotive in west Hamilton tommorow...the guys there are suspension experts, and I know that the car will be dialed in 110% before it leaves the shop. They've found stuff wrong on my dads car AFTER he had it fixed somewhere else. I know it's pricey at around $500 to install it, and to align it is $89 for a 4-wheel alignment. They might give me a break on some of the labour fees if the job goes fast. So, to help with that, I've been outside pre-oiling all of the bolts and joints so that they might be easier to break loose tommorow (car goes into the shop for 8am).
Man, I've spent a lot on this car this weekend...including the replacement cowling between the hood and windsheild (damaged by ice last winter), a wiper arm, etc.
Anyways, I'll have the install done by noonish, and will likely be home and giving a reveiw on here soon after (well, after some wheel time to develop a driving impression).
Only thing I wonder is, how much will the car settle, and how long should that take? Couple weeks, or a few 1000 kms?
