not just that, but cutting the perch like that probably voids the warranty on the struts. I not only want the perch flipped correctly, i want a new perch that isnt cut. And that spring is under extreme load sitting that low.... i wonder if thats ok? Hey, there should be some compensation here, i should get my money back on the install.... how can they just decide to cut something?? and not even disclose it at all?? They shouldnt be cutting anything to begin with.... ALL they needed to do was READ the directions.... the instructions chearly state all of this, and have clear pics showing the proper direction.
thanks

with the money you should be getting ^_^ for this retarded screw up, u should go get a free alignment from them. dont forget to get one, after u get ur car lowered and corrected. typically with eibach pro-kits many dont need a camber kit, but than again u do have the koni reds.

i forgot to mention......
when i dropped the car off, i told them they were internally adjustable, and that i wanted them 1/2 way.
When i picked the car up, i asked them.... so did you adjust them 1/2 way? And they tell me there is no way to adjust them and if there is, they couldnt figure it out.
Come on now.... the directions tell you, all you need to do is twist the strut. ?? Can they not read? So they are on full soft, which is the way they come from the factory.... But it rides like stock so thats fine.

NEW PICS.... sorry for the size.
And if any one is wondering, those wheels are going as soon as i can afford new ones. I think the car car would look 100% different and better with some 17's.
AND.... if some of you do notice, the antenna is not there... it broke and im in the process of finding another one.

that back still seems quite low for the pro kit. i've got sportlines on my accord with stock 15" wheels and they don't look that low (can click my web page link for pics).
fortunately i just got the H&R OE Sport springs in that will raise my car back up about an inch for an overall drop of 0.75".
FYI, I have no plans for upgrading the wheel/tire package.

yes, those pics are still of the bad install. That last pic is of the front..... The car is currently at their shop being fixed, they are just going to flip the perch, align the car, and they are going to order the new perches, bring the car back in, and they'll put the new parts on.
