[s-cars] Thankful for lots, except failed front springs.. NTB

[brian hoeft]

Update,,

Received my warrantied springs from H&R monday, put them in wednesday, got
an alignment/inspection and am now very relieved.

Big thanks to James F at H&R for his ease of warranty service. Thanks for
the nudge by listers to claim warranty status, and thanks to my ?torsion
bar for making the control arm movement/strut housing removal doable by
myself.

I cannot vouch for other companies' spring integrity or warranty service,
but through this experience I am now much more likely to have friends and
customers use H&R springs for their cars.  My only reservation is that there
are no spring weights offered with the 'sport' springs.

Happy Bill of Rights Day!! ,brian
