I am not familiar with 'timing' on bushings, but we are an authorized and trained Pedders dealer and have done many successful installs. We also have brand new and top of the line Hunter alignment equipment to make sure everything is dead nuts. Give Mike a call at 480.598.5683 and talk to him about your setup.
Thx,
Dave

this is what JusticePete, whom has refered me to your shop said about this procedure:
The most important step in lowering a Camaro is to time the bushes to the new ride height. The rubber bushes in your suspension do not rotate in the control arms. They twist when the suspension articulates up and down. This twist of the rubber is just like having stronger springs. They are set to the OE ride height. While your car is in the air getting new lowering coils or coilovers your technician should loosen all the rotational bolts in the control arms. When the car is set back on the ground he should drive it SLOWLY around the shop parking lot. This times all the bushes. Next they pull the car up on the steel rails of the alignment rack. With the weight of the car on the wheels the technician will tighten up the bolts he made loose. Now the bushes are timed exerting equal force on both the bound and rebound, down and up strokes making the spring rate equal and the RIDE QUALITY correct for the coils of coilovers you installed.

Both stories seemed "padded", but here's how I see it. OP admitted to the fact right at the beginning that he didn't like the initial storage fees or whatever. It was at that point when the bill was clear that you should have canceled any further business with this shop. By you not doing so indicates they had not done anything too terribly wrong. Then you chose to bring another car to them at the same time? You continued to string them along with the Vette but just wont admit it. I gotta say that the LPM story sounds more legit.

Loud Pedal treated us like royalty! We drove in, forgot our wheel lock key, no problem for Loud Pedal.... They drove us to a local shopping mall where we had a blast, finished our car in a few hrs, charged a very decent price.. gave us a tour of the shop, very impressive! They are very professional..
Loud Pedal FTW!!!! Thanks boys, Chantilly now has that much needed rake..
Loud Pedal is a JEWEL found in the Desert in The Valley of the Sun..
They also have some tremendous shop cars, give them a visit....
