Re: Was: Ramblings Now: Coil Springs

[farna@xxxxxxx]

I had nothing but good results from Coil Spring specialties in the past, hope this was just a snafu and the new ones will be right. But then I'd had nothing but good results from a shop a took an engine to many years ago. They really didn't do anything to the engine, but were supposed to deliver an assembled short block in 60 days. Four months later I picked up the bare block that had at least been bored, and new pistons with pressed on rods (which turned out to be pressed on backwards!). Then I had to round up the rest of the parts and rebuild the short block myself. That wasn't really a problem except for the wasted time waiting on them. The thing is I took the block over with the idea I was going to build myself, and the shop talked me into letting them assemble it for $100 so I'd have a warranty! So places do go down hill fast sometimes. Look at Clifford Performance as well...
