What dealer do you work at?

I did already. I was TRYING to see if there was a Local that might have a set laying around so I could just drive and pick them up. But No Need now. I found a set shipped for $35 and I went ahead and bought some Moog bushings. Now I can assemble my set up and install them.

I think I need to see yours before I would do it. I just got half my car repainted and am VERY particular about rolled fenders. I had to roll mine slightly to lower mine further a few weeks ago due to my wheel spacers and stock tires. Pics...?

Need some input guys as I have reached a time in my life that I must do a change. But this change requires me to relocate from San Antonio to Abilene, TX.

Abilene is a nice city, not near as big as SA or DFW. But a much more laid back city. They have something we need for my brother with Autism that I must move into that area so he gets taken care of well.

That said, I have checked in that area and there are NO Acura dealers anywhere near them. Fort Worth Mac Churchhill Acura is the closest one and won't give loaner cars out under a scheduled appointment so if I wanted to try and swap for a week, not going to happen. So I called the Honda dealers in that area to see if they would do warranty work or repairs on Acura products. They said no.

With that said, this may leave me no choice other than to sell both our Acura's and get something more common (Honda/Toyota/Nissan) so we can still get them fixed and serviced especially under warranty. I am not willing to pay this amount for a car and not have coverage especially letting my 100k warranty go to waste.

What is your experience with this? How is the area like up there? Another reason, this also puts us closer to my other Brothers family in the Frisco area.

I did not expect this when I took over the SA Chapter, but my job situation has gone down hill here, and other personal things that it is forcing me to make some changes.

Well from my experience, as I am a mechanic and an acura owner. I wouldnt sell the acura. You can always find local shops to do oil changes and such if not yourself. Now for warranty work, you wont be going to the dealer much so being far wouldn't bother me. I dont know how you feel about that. I couldnt sell my car. That would be rough.

I really don't want too, but I guess if something major comes up, it would have to be taken in or towed.

Thanks. I will probably keep it for a while and if I have any issues I will consider getting rid of it. But so far it has had no issues since owning it. I do have the 100k warranty and wondering if I should even keep that now that I won't be near a dealer. :/

I would keep that warranty. I just had 8k in warranty work done to my 07 TL. If you need it you got it. Make sure whoever is doing your maint looks over your car for any leaks etc. I bought a warranty when I bought my car and it had a bunch of things wrong. So I got it all covered, since im a mechanic at the dealer I look at it myself but if you have it in the air its easy to spot leaks etc.

Yeah I wanna see it in person. I have mad suspension issues right now that I'm dealing with so my height is all f-ed up. Fender to ground is 24" left side front/rear. 23 right front/25 right rear. All adjustments are equal, my rf spring just gave up. I got new ones from ISC for the front two so maybe that will fix my rear issue too. My rf rubs like crazy Cuz its so low on my stock wheels w/15mm spacers. Regardless my fenders need to be rolled anyway.
