    I knew Brian left Steven stranded/waiting more than once. Didn't know about the physical appearance of it going in then coming back out, sorry to hear about that this late in the game Steven.

    American Motorsports is shit!!!!! I brought my 06 tacoma to Brian to make some lift spindles. Drove down there atleast 5 times I'm 2 1/2 hrs away. Poor communication and lots of excuses! The spindle I'm talking about is the 5 lug prototype. He fucked up a few times and blamed it on the geometry of my total chaos upper arm saying it wouldn't work with there setup. Scraped the shit out of my rotors with a protruding bolt while test driving the truck. Bent my brake lines, set off my abs sensor and fucked up my spindles. Made a nice deep gouge all around my inner tire and cut up my rack and pinion for his tie rod steering kit. The spindles were shit! Leaving my truck innoperable. Had to crash at his house for the night. Put all the stock shit back on the next day and drive home. Took two months to get my 800 back for "research and cad work" but I wasted 300 on new bearings for the spindles and various other shit, heims, misalignment spacers and hardware.plus gas 2 1/2 hrs one way 5 times! FUCK AMERICAN MOTORSPORTS
