    took my car to the dealer for an alignment after installing my Stern ACAs.... Dealer has had my car for three hours and called me to say they cant get the jam nuts loose on one side of the stern ACAs... i informed him they are reverse threaded on one side... "oh" let me go try that... no telling what damage they caused

    Ive learned you can get a whole lot outta the dealer if you know how to sway them to look at it your way....



    .....or something like that

    they didnt damage anything... and i got it aligned..... drives great now.... with the stern ACAs you can feel the road a lot more and the car follows the road much more so.... its definitely a drivers car and you gotta pay attention! but when you want to turn, the car falls right in where you want it to be... its hard to explain but very nice....
