I'm ordering on Monday, do you want a set also? You'll need them if you want to corner balance. I didn't check to see if your bar was even, but mine was off enough to easily notice.

Slight difference in spring height from side to side. The stock bar was slightly loaded, also.

If you want to deal with them. The lowest I've seen them at is JSC Speed at $117. I think WorldOne was higher on the website, but I know they sometimes deal. If you get a price, make sure they are not demos or "damaged in shipping." You know how I feel about them and I hold a grudge.

I will check with them and see what I can come up with. They give me better prices than on the website.

Make sure they don't jack the shipping, too.

When he gives me a price, it includes shipping and tax.

This is hard, talking with 4 girls, being on NAM, and drinking a Arragant Bastard Ale.

Its not the not having it part that pisses me off the most. Its the fact that they may have sent me damaged goods in order to get a damage free replacement or turn a quick buck...

My point exactly. I would rather deal with an honest company and there was now way the bar was damaged in shipping.

Well, we will se what DHL says. If they say it wasn;t damaged in transit, then WorldOne will be footing the bill and Jonathan will get an earfull from me.

You should have come up to Oakhurst today to finish your USS install. I actually had to buy lunch for myself today. I'm working on getting my puller for the crank pulley so maybe next weekend I'll do that.

Hey, remember to check out the saw blade I need to cut my carport concrete, please. Robert Fischer called today and told me that Weber BMW got the MINI dealership. I don't know if that is a good thing considering Weber's reputation.

As one who has had lots of experience with Weber BMW over the past 12 years, this is not good. They charge for every little thing including talking to you (well maybe I'm exaggerating a bit). Minis will be treated like step-children. I will never let them look at my BMW let alone work on it. They can't even wash a car properly. There is no way my mini will ever drive or be towed to Weber's lot. Ken
