Thats how come we made an upgrade, I spend every weekend working on these cars and every other day during the week which used to consist of (2) 2g's and (1) 1g. Now were down to (1) 2g and (1) 1g which both were getting rid of. I lost money, lots of it but I rather lose that much then keep losing more.
I don't know if its safe to drive it that way as I am one not knowledgable enough of suspension but I tell you what that sucks and I know if it happened to me I would be as pissed off as you are. I can't take those problems anymore, so that's how come we drew the line.
Good luck!
