FALKEN appreciation thread....

I would like to thank JT for using up his whole Sunday and provide me with his tools and driveway to finish the suspension on my vic...woulda went smoother if one bolt had come off when I wanted it to but overall, it was a pretty easy install

The ride is great, and the handling will get better once my wheel is fixed and put back on.

Chris, glad to hear that you were happy with the results. I'm amazed at how much better my car feels. Once I get the new wheels and tires and get the strut and sway bars installed I'm sure it will be that much better. Overall I'm extremely pleased.

JT great job!!! 2 suspensions is a pretty full day of wrenching! It would frustrate the hell outta me not to be able to get a bolt out! I would have lent a hand Sunday but I was pretty thrashed from being up til the early morning and being hella sick... I didnt even call Jeff til alot later. Glad to hear everything went well!

Peace

I thanked you and adam so much, that Id rather not start a thread. I cant say thanks enough for you guys taking like 3 days and 40 hours from your weekend. Thanks.

Did you guys get alignments yet? pretty soon I hope, than they will be sooooo much smoother. I love getting alignments, especially with the tokicos, its so smooth afterwards.

I couldn't get one bolt off either Chris, one of the ones behind the rear seats. We had to go get a deep socket just for that one bolt. But thanks to JT again, as he helped me on my springs a few months back. Wanna help with my truck when it's time? hehe. j/k

I didn't forget it, I left it for you. I figured you would need it again before I will.
