Default Shops

ok, I am used to playing with my rides and knowing what and where everything is set at. This year, I have been trying an outside shop, have had good results. Nice placement of components. After my tire swap, no one from the shop mentioned that the front was dropped 10mm to compensate for the geometry change. That kinda burnt my *** in not knowing. The ride handled great, so am not really b*tching, just annoyed.Would have been nice when I reset the suspension.
I stipulated on the cam, gasket etc, that I be informed of any questions. hmm no calls. Biting my nails again, just not used to others playing with my ride.

You get my gist? Frustrating

I guess if 10mm can make a big difference then why not get flamed about it.

Give them hell, drag!

That's why I do everything myself. I know enough mechanics, and what they are capable of F'ing up.[>:]
