The lowered car thing is bullshit, tell them you'll file suit in small claims court. It costs like $20.00 and I guarantee that a judge will side with you considering they did'nt even last a year. I have had my civic for ten years and it's been lowered for five. I have only had two sets of axles. Where do you live in Hawaii? I grew up in Kahaluu in Temple Valley. BTW, you will get your court costs and any other expenses back too (i.e. lost wages, etc.)
