Got my K Sport coilovers installed. Brought the car to a local speed shop called Procom. Charged me a ton of money, for adjustment, alignment, miscellaneous stuff. Specifically asked them to adjust the front endlinks. They adjusted only the front drivers side. Which anyone who knows how sway bar end links work, if you touch one you touch both. Cost me my passenger side end link which is destroyed along with my rim. Moral of the Story, If you are in the Tri State area, Do Not Use Procom. Vent Over.

Ugh, that sucks. Nothing worse than paying for a supposed “expert”, only to find out they’re hacks.  |

Wow. I hate shops like that.
Did they charge you for adjusting both as well?
I know it sounds dumb, but come at them with a threat to report to the better business bureau if they're not willing to stand by their work. Often companies don't care, but follow through if they don't. They'll be contacted
There is a possibility that they overstressed the ball joint letting the sway bar hang down, and that ruined it. But even though, it's a potentially lethal scenario they caused. If you lost it during a hard corner you could have crashed. I'm happy that didn't happen

Short story, went in the back when they brought it in. Guy informed me I had both fronts and rears level, but I was 1/8'' High in the back. I told him to leave it. So technically, they didn't adjust the coilovers at all. Stood there and pointed out the end links, Guy told me the mount was on upside down. Told him I had no clue, the guy from K Sport told me they were set to install out of the box, all I had to do was set the height. So they moved the abs sensor from where I had it on the end link itself to on the actual end link mount from the coilover, The drivers side was so tight, I have no idea how it didn't rip.
