took car to shop today to get my spacers and springs installed ...
 
They installed the springs no problem. the front spacers I got h&r 20mm drs and 25mm drm for the back. They said I need a part for the front to be installed. They installed the back fine. They said I need to order a part or get different spacers. Any idea what they are talking about. Tmdid I order the wrong spacer for the front?

Maybe they didnt remove the bolt that is on the brake top hat before the spacer can be installed on it. They could also be talking about hubcentric rings. I am running the drs 20mm in the front on stock wheels with no hiccups when I installed them .

brain maybe?

you got the drs which are stud replacement type, correct? that's the right ones.
i dont think you did anything wrong.

Ok thanks guys because he charged me $200 for the springs and spacers install and don't know if hes going to do the front now. But now that I know they work I'm going back.

yah, ask them wat "part" they're talking about.

Maybe they're talking about hubcentric rings. But I have the same spacers and the H&Rs came with them.

Its molded on the spacers, no? Its one piece

Called the shop today and told me they have to charge me $50 to remove the bolt and put the spacers on. What you guys think?

I think they're being shady and trying to jack you for another $50.

Since they failed to do the install the first time, I would demand they finish what you paid for.

Chuck33079 08-13-2013 09:27 AM

Considering they couldn't figure out that the spacers would work fine if you took out the bolt on the rotor, do you even want them to do anything else to your car?

I would tell them that I'll be there in 5 minutes to remove the bolt myself for free.

$50 is like 50 minutes of labor? I think, but regardless, it doesn't take that long to remove a single bolt.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

I think its time to go to a new shop. I wonder if anyone is local that could help you out because taking that bolt off is a 5 minute job.

Chuck33079 08-13-2013 09:48 AM

I can't imagine an able bodied individual needing help to remove that bolt. If the OP is capable of removing the wheel to get to it, he has the necessary skill set to handle it.
