okay, tokico warranty is turning out to be harder than i thought.. it says in the card that i need a return auth number but when i call the number listed it goes straight to vm, and then on the website it says that all warranty claims need to be made with the retailer that i bought them from.... frustration. i have left messages and sent an email so far, i just want them to stand up on their lifetime warranty

i am guessing it is blown out. yesterday going home the rear end got squirrely feeling on me and i initially thought i had a flat tire, tires are fine, end links and sway are fine. stopped by jakes house and the rear is bouncy can move it about 3/4 an inch and the fronts are stiff and barely move like they should be

me too.... we shall see

WELL.... got this email from the place i bought them.... not happy

At least they didn't leave you out to dry.

i need to get the rear end in the air to make sure that it is not a end link or sway bar.. if those are okay then i will throw on my stockers and take pics of the tokico and send them to b2. once he gets the pics he will send them to whoever, and if they warranty them out, they will credit B2 and then they will credit me, if that ends up being the case i will put it towards the koni yellows.
another thing i need to do is adjust exhaust and see if i can get it off the M brace..not sure if the muffler is off center on the inlet or not, if not i have to figure out how to adjust so it doesnt hit. i wish i knew someone with a lift, would be so much easier to tweak it while standing

What made you decide on the Yellows?
Probably not worth the time/money for your particular situation, but if you want to get your car on a lift, there's a place in Plano called Jack Junkies that rents out their 2 and 4 post lifts for $23 and $25 per hour, respectively. Check out their website:

I purchased SPC toe bolts and SS brake lines from B2 today. I have 2 sets of pads, DD and Track, the SS lines will make swapping them much easier. As soon as the toe bolts come in, I'm going to get ANOTHER alignment.

Dang, I just took my SPC toe bolts off my car.
Where are you going for an alignment this time?
Also, if you go to the Jack Junkies place, let me know. I've been wanting to check the place out in person but haven't had a reason to yet.

I don't know, it will be really simple for whoever does it. I won't be going back to Firestone... maybe Cobb will give me a lower rate for the small adjustment?
You still thinking about going single exhaust?

I'm always thinking about going to a single exhaust. Since mine's a true dual, I'd need to get a y-pipe on top of the single exhaust (all of them are y-back exhausts) which is more $$. No money, though.

Are there any other DIY places in the area? I thought I remember one that was a little cheaper.

Isn't there one on northbound 75 on the edge of Allen and Plano? Thought i saw one there but for the life of me i can't remember what it was called.

I drove the Prius around for 7 months not realizing the inspection was up haha. And my Z's expired registration sticker is still on the car, but I carry the new one in the car in case I get pulled over. I'm waiting to do the inspection first so I can align all the stickers properly on the windshield. 
and was like okay..and I was like ya I'm nuts.
