Install of Springs/Sways! Read!!!!

Well today I had my springs and sways installed by Park Avenue Acura by Jenns, and I got to tell you that it was the best investment I have done with the car!! Not only did the car handle like a dream it was ready for me in 4 hours!!! Jenns, THANKS for all your hard work and knowledge!! I got to admit, I did not want to do any aftermarket upgrades to the car since I use the car to commute everyday and since I never know when to stop upgrading my cars. As for other CL-S brothers and sisters out there!, DON'T DELAY!, get it done, you will thank yourself at the end! One last note, after calling all the dealerships in Northern New Jersey, I got to admit that Park Avenue was the only dealership that caters to Comptech FREAKS like us.

Thanks,
Joe S.

PS~ Jenns, see ya soon for the headers and I would like to maybe take you out for a drink!!

Joe I'm happy to hear your Park Avenue experience went well. Jens (pronounced like the Chinese money) is an excellent mechanic and totally good guy. I'll never forget how this very tall and very thin guy in a white coat came bounding thru the service doors to talk to me. I'm thinking how does he get into a Miata let alone under a car even when on a lift. Joe I hope you received one of those little courtesy tags that Park Avenue hangs on your shifter or mirror with Jens picture on it. Don't throw it out because I'm going to start collecting them.

Jens, I'm just playing around so don't be mad at me. Especially when you have to do my brakes.

Peace
Rob

Can you send Jens to the Dallas area, we have a shortage of Comptech/Acura service. I had a place install my springs but had to read them the alignment proceedure out of the service manual. Then went to an Acura service center for an alignment. I had to talk the manager into attemping an alignment because he said it wouldn't work even after I showed him the specs from Comptech. Finally he agreed to attemp it. It worked out ok but still it was a hassel.

Greetings Wayne. Do the meet and I'll be there if I have no conflicts with my kids having to be somewhere. Hey wait, isn't this now the reason why I stay married? The wife will take the kids if necessary and be sure I'll go to the meet.

Wayne your yet to be announced "NSX test drive" for Park Avenue patrons will be an excellent idea for all who attend!
