Re: 1997 GSX - DD, RR, and 11's.

Well they replaced the seats. But my luck must be all used up for the year or something.

The new seats showed up in 3 days with tracking this time. But they must have been rubbing on something during shipping. As there was a tear in both seats that were on the same side of the box.
I got looking at the originals and 1 of them was rubbed almost to the point of a tear in the same spot that I didn't even notice.
Spent 4hrs working on my suspension trying to get ride height all adjusted only to have it be almost undrivable.
FEAL clearances are so tight it's a PITA. To get the suspension off once installed especially the rears.
And on there setup the part that adjusts the ride height is the part that mouth to the lower section. My KYB. You just spun the spring perch to raise or lower, was really fast to set up.
So tomorrow have to try it again as the rears are way to high and the fronts aren't the same angle. (My driveway isn't flat and once I drove the car they settled funny I guess.

Also my carbonetics hood is messed up. Sergio said I'm the first person to recieved a hood that wasn't made right.
Originally he denied any wrong doing. Till I sent him a video of me with my stock hood installed, then had to install my carbonetics hood to prove it. (With out a break in the video btw and since facebook messanger only allows 1.5min. Of video before you have to edit let's just say that was a pain in the ass to finally get a hood swap done in 1.5min.. so he'd finally believe me.
Supposedly he's making a new hood monday and going to tell me how to fix this one I guess? (Not sure how since I can't move the aerocatch latches now that they are cut out).
But frustrated none the less with my bad luck. Was also supposed to go to VIR this coming week and then go see Matt at road atlanta on the 25th.

Only we had a major failure at work friday along with our 4th osha recordable this year (new guy cut half his finger off) and our department is shut down. So now I have to watch my spending, and use my vacation time.
