last time i accepted an offer to help a friend i was amazed by the amount of unpredictable shit that went wrong.

a co worker bought coil overs for his civic and asked me to help install, i said sure.. 100$ shouldnt be too hard ive done my suspension and friends many times.. so it turns out a bunch of my tools are stripped from doing previous LCAs, his sway bars were seized, he didnt have proper lug nuts for his new wheels, fenders were not rolled to handle the new wide wheels... long story short is that it was not worth the 100$ for me.. sometimes when offering to help people you win or lose, it cant always be perfect... especially when going into the job blind and unprepared..

ps co workers car turned out great, just took longer than anticipated...

both the "modder" and OP were at fault in this, "modder" took on to large of a project and OP is still clueless as fck

i hope everyone learns something from this
