A Goodyear shop did a very kind thing for me today..

[knightsfs4]

So I just got my OME 885s installed and I forgot to have the shop install my sway-bar relocate while it was up. So I hit a bump and sure enough my coils hit the sway bar. I would do it myself but I don't own an impact wrench so I had to take it somewhere. So I got back to the shop and they're too busy. I go to a Kauffman Tire and they want $50 to put it on, so no thanks. I take it to Goodyear and the guy at first says he won't install aftermarket parts, but it was closing time so he said well maybe we can just loosen the bolts for the kid. They put it on the lift and put on the relocate since they realized it was an easy job. When they got it down I asked how much I owed him and he told me nothing. For once I feel like a shop did me good and helped me out. Just a happy rant!!

Sorry to go a little off topic but what is the sway bar relocate? Does it come with kit when you buy it or is it something else? Sorry for a noob-ish question but I plan on going OME in the near future and want to make sure I do it right the first time.

X2 or atleast an 18 pack!

Just for future reference, you only need standard sockets and no lift/jack/jackstands to do this, but that's awesome they helped you out!

Knight did you notice a difference in the steering after the drop kit? obviously no more hitting, I'm curious if it changes the way the steering feels? But maybe you didn't get much time with the new coils also with and without the drop kit? I'm getting ready to instal the sway bar drop kit and a diff drop kit I'm getting a little leaking from my boots, so figured I give it a shot besides I'm also going to put better coils on soon.

Absolutely send those guys a pizza or a box of donuts. They'll be that much likelier to help the next guy at closing time, and what goes around comes around!
