Not possible for that to happen. I'm completely over trying to help anyone on here with shocks after the last one. I explained clearly and fully that it was a favor. I don't make a dime and in fact I lose money doing it. By the time I pay my guy to drop them off and pack them up, I've got at least 150 bucks in time over what was covered. Not to mention that I've got a few hours on the phone, messages, etc. that don't matter. That still wasn't enough. Never again.

No, then I am in the shock tuning business and I am not in that business and don't want to be. There are a lot of tuners out there that will take your money.
Capitalism is good, it is not ever fair. If you try to make capitalism fair, then you wind up with a form of socialism. Capitalism means that you can circumvent all of the time and money spent on R&D for something by purchasing the item and reverse engineering it. If I started charging anyone for shock work, how long would it be before our tunes were put out there for everyone to copy?
I've already had several tuners get in touch with me and my tuner asking for the recipe. While I realize it is fully unrealistic to even begin to protect what we've learned, I still get a bit pissy over the fact that I've spent a fortune paying my tuners for this over the last 12 years and all you have to do is find someone with an axe to grind and they'll let you copy it.
Please excuse me for attempting to hi-jack my thread back....but...after aligning it last night and checking that everything was tight and in order, I remembered that after doing my bump stops a couple weeks ago I replaced the sway bar bushings. I disconnected the links and I could barely physically move the sway bar an inch and it was a jerky shift. Thinking that maybe this way why the ride started feeling progressively firmer after all the small parts I have changed over the last few months, I never thought it could be because the new sway bar bushings were too tight. I went and got some bushing lubricant after work and pulled the bushings and re-installed them and it rides noticeably “better”. Also, the alignment seemingly corrected the shaking over bumps and it handled them much more stable now.
Those work great ...you can loosen the inner front seat bolt and lift the seat and deal with the inner ones a lot easier when you install, i stuck a socket under mine to hold it up and get the torx in.

Picture this. You’re driving down the road at 50 mph. Street psi tires. Swerve off the road onto pothole laden dirt and you feel absolutely no difference.
