[s-cars] Am I crazy or is this just f'd up?

[Elvis Palombizio]

Wow, I had no idea it was this commonplace.. Maybe I should read more of the
list email!! God, I would have definitely gone with eibach or anyone else...
bummer.

H&R / Tirerack was kind of a pain to deal with. They wanted me to purchase a
new set of springs at retail first (not a big deal), but I had originally
purchased my springs at a dealer cost, so when I returned the defective
springs to Tirerack, they were only going to credit me that dealer cost,
leaving me out some money... not to mention having to wait for springs,
either putting them on myself or paying someone.

Did you replace your struts as well when you put on your new springs? I have
to imagine my poor koni's are done since they were holding up my car for so
long.

Anything else I should replace while I'm "there"? I am going to put on my
ECS camber plates during the job but would love to replace whatever I should
so I can be done with it.

thanks for the feedback!
