Re: Lower subframe stress bar Q

["Randy B" <sirocco@telocity.com>]

Mike,
Send it back to Eurosport or the place you bought it from, it's a defective

Otherwise, put it on E-bay you might even get more for it than you paid for
it. :D
I am also considering the Autotech lower subframe, very nice design that
looks like it actually works.
