Any opinion on this. Im not saying he is wrong. Maybe Eibach,Perrin and others are wrong with their installation instruction.

Tightening the bar brackets after the links and with the wheels on the ground will not get you anything, unless you are putting shims between the brackets and the subframe? I hope not but you never know what people may try

You know, cops. The guys you routinely tell to go **** themselves because they have the audacity to want you to not speed on public roads.

I know we don't see eye to eye on the civil servant part but I love it too! It is one of my all time favorites. The other one is this...

It has nothing to do with caste. Shorts and t-shirts are worn by school children. So working class folks wear long sleeve shirts and slacks no matter how hot it is. I get made fun of when I show up in India in shorts.
This has something to do with the caste system in India. Everyone wants to be associated with the "white collar" type class and therefore wearing collar shirts and slacks gives them the false impression of being well to do, even when they are in the gym.
Either that or the slacks were on SALE! Geez, have you seen the prices of Nike over there...lolo

Looking forward to seeing how Cobb comes up with a way to get my front wheel off that has a stripped out lug in order to replace the wheel stud and front rotors.
Note to self: Never let a random tire guy put factory tires and wheels on my car anymore to avoid this in the future.
