Crap, after sleeping 4 hours last night I get up and head to NORCAL TBSS's place to install and tune my new double adjustable QA1's that I've been sitting on for a long while.

Damn it if the bushings they include are either too loose or too tight. I need to get a set of 3/4" OD, 9/16 id bushings
I'll be calling Monday morning, guess we'll find out what kind of customer service they have

Bill, 1 of 2 things. They only set me 2 of one size & 1 in another size.
Shortchanged. I found out when I was ready to do the job.
So, if they sent u the same, call to order 1 more.
Or, what I had done. I had some machined. I didn't use my original bolts, but instead installed some Grade 8s. Also need extra washers to take up space. I ground on the shock mount ( the minimal amount needed) to provide extra clearance too. The bushings they send have a really thin wall diameter. My way is a little work, unless u know someone.
But there is in NO WAY a compromise in strength w/my way.
Let me know if I can help you w/ this. I'll do what I can.
