the wheel supply

DO NOT go to TWS or the wheel supply.

my friend had a flat tire and was replacing it there, and the idiot mechanic tried to use the SAME TIRE AND they were directional tires that they didn't mount right! if they can't mount simple things like tires, you can expect they won't do your installs correctly, beware.

This is what I paid a dealer to do the CT springs install and 4 wheel alignment. Also, I you can afford it, also install konis. You'll regret it later if you don't do it now.


Part--------------------Cost---------Labor---------------Total
========================================
CT Springs------------$ 270--------$ 360--------------$ 630
4 wheel alignment-----------------$ 145--------------$ 145

while waiting in the the little room at TWS, the owner SANDERS was yelling at customers on the phone and in person. he's one of those small guys that think they are always right. so much for customer service.

well at least you got hooked up. :P

went to his place to pick up some eibach sways, he lives in fullerton. it's a bitch to find his exact apartment cause he lives in a complex...make sure to bring his cell phone number with you if you head over to his place.

he seems like a stand up guy.
