What happened worth the Meister coil over? I thought they were supposed to be goo?

 

They are great. I love them. Absolutely transformed the car.

Communicating with them reminded me of conversations with my 15 year old son. We used to call it 20 questions. Ask a question, get a one word answer. Nothing volunteered. Next question....

I finally badgered the Figs guy into sending me an installation manual for a similar product. That was helpful, but all this could have easily been handled in a 20 minute phone call. Instead we got to play email tag for the better part of a day.

 

So,

The parts showed up a couple of days before Christmas. Very nicely packaged, very high quality parts. And still, not a shred of documentation.

Yesterday I went by an auto repair place to see if they would install them. After a bit of a discussion with one of the counter workers, the mechanic comes in and said they will install customer supplied parts in the event that a non-factory part is indicated. He said that Chargers have the same rear alignment issues and there are aftermarket solutions for that as well.

So, they did their magic to price it out, and it was $1,250 to install 2 LCA's and 2 toe arms.

My guess is this was a "go away and don't bother us" price. So I'll mount the parts when it warms up a bit.

Happy New Year to all!

 

And you'll document it for us, right?

Good luck for when the time comes.

 

Absolutely.

Based on the coil overs, it's not difficult.

Getting a basic alignment so I can get the car to a shop for for a real alignment will prolly be the biggest hurdle.

Cheers

 

So,

My son was able to come over this weekend and we installed the LCA's and toe arms. Nothing too difficult. The new bushings can be a tight fit but grease is included to help. The mounting point for the passenger side toe arm was pretty wonky. It took a few minutes to get it where the bushing would go in.

So now to get it aligned.

Cheers

 

My entire Front End Kit should be getting installed later this month. I also added the Front Sway bar kit.

 

Did you increase the diameter of the sway bar?

 

Yes, The larger one from Figs.

 

Let us know how it affects the handing.
