I’m looking at buying a set of powertrix coil overs (RT). The fronts have 120 on them but the rears only say “rear”. I haven’t had a chance to see them in person either. I’ve searched and still can’t find any info online, unless I missed something. Oh and they are the orange ones. Thanks all!!!
I would call Powertrix to see what they say.

Sorry but when you pay your workers $5/hr or less and send 2 of them to spend 45 min on my yard once a month (if that), that's a ******* stellar profit margin for that type of business.

The problem is the ones that have payroll only run it for half their employees. They charge Westlake $80/mon and send the legit employees to them. Then charge less and hire a bunch of illegals for cash only for most every other neighborhood. They know how to work the system.

Haha 3/8" extension for the demon bolt. If I used one of those 3/8" extreme grip sockets, the first attachment would be a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. Still worried the adapter or socket would fail. Not worth the trouble to attempt it.

The 14mm built-in swivel I have is for a 1/2" socket

I was referring to them charging for a second cutting in a month. You have to remember they have travel time too.

No, fùck that. They come like one time between Nov-Feb. That should cover at least 3-4 extra visits during the spring and rainy season. I don't have a problem with extra costs if you tell me about them beforehand. But when you try to backdoor them I get mad real quick.

Clearly, you're not dealing with the same scam artists I did. Three different companies tried that.

Also, I know they have enough neighborhood work that travel between jobs is negligible. And most of the companies have multiple crews with a foreman that owns or at least possess all the equipment. Does your company pay you to drive to work and home everyday?

Ordered a personalized plate for the Lexus

Wanted to support Texas Parks and Wildlife so I got their largemouth bass plate (75% goes to support fishing related programs within the agency). But I also wanted to honor the Z. I think I did pretty well overall

They do when I’m loaned out to a client. Claimed mileage for almost two years.

My company is pretty legit. They bill me for each trip. I get an itemized invoice for the month and I pay monthly.

Sure the company pays mileage to go to sites. But not to the office. If your office is the site, then you don't get mileage reimbursed. Typically...

That’s not what I’m saying. The client office was my office for two years. Got mileage.

That's atypical. Good company

Minimum wage jobs don't get that treatment...
