Re: lower end assembly kit

I dont have any experience with that particular kit, but I do have experience with the company themselves. We have used several of thier more stock kits. On one of them the owner wanted to double check the balance of the assembly, and it was off a considerable amount. This guy had gotten ripped this way before by another company. On the first phone call we got a line of "everyones machine is calibrated different, so you cant compare it." WTF? So we called back again, and talked to someone else. In the end they actually paid for the machine work locally to fix it. They made right on it, but it makes me want to doubt the balancing work.
