Yes and No... Got the call yesterday that strut and knuckle installed, Alignment done and she's driving great and straight. All the above was correct except some strange clicking when turning front wheels, mainly passenger. Dropped back off yesterday and as of about 3 hours ago they're stumped as to where n what it is.
So to be continued man...

Are they giving you a hard time regarding lowering and the accident?

OK folks, got Serenity back on Friday and turns out the "clicking / popping" was the sleeve on bushing was loose on the control arm. Thing is this was an issue before the accident just not as pronounced before it. Also should note wasn't there before the Eibachs. Anyhow, no problems with service department whatsoever on the suspension change / warranty. They replaced under Warranty. I still though have something loose on driver side / strut replace tho. Not to sure about the "Stinger" tech at SW Kia as not only did they miss both of these issues after strut / knuckle & alignment but took Serenity for an 18 mile test drive using 1/4 tank of gas! 99% sure there was some redlining as when I went to put her into Sport mode the RPM quickly rose from 2K to 5K. After normal driving this isn't the case. Tells me all I need + the fuel. So... I'm taking to RR Kia (another dealer) to hopefully get this suspension done and over with. Will be passing on tho... No test drive punks until I'm there in person, tracking fuel and mileage from here on out!
