H&R Cup Kit issues
Hey guys,
Ive got the HR Cup kit from tirerack. Install went smoothly kept the stock rear spring pad, since the rocker panel area of the car is level. Heres the only snag, I put the front strut/springs in first and had the front aligned. The rear shocks/springs went on a couple weekends later. I took the car to finish up the alignment at a local MB mechanic shop. This guy mentioned I'd have to be back, and that they would recheck the front. Turns out my car needed a MB pin mod kit, for the front and rear since the both were out of alignment. This ended up taking them 4 hrs for the install. Anyone know which pin this is?? On top of this the car still has a bit of side to side shake in the steering wheel, seems like wheels are centered at a off-centered position on the steering wheel. SO if you let the car go without holding the weel it pulls to the right and if you straighten the steering wheel it veers left.
Had the tires balanced today, they were only off a hair. Anyone have this prob???? 
Thanks

I'll have to talk to the mechanic and get the alignment data. My only thing is has anyone heard/needed this MB suspension pin mod kit?? Maybe this is a case of everyone taking the car to a shop where the pin install was included??
