Bought a rear axle for my VTS off axlesdirect.
£240 delivered, fully rebuilt, set to my chosen height & 2 year warranty (Main reason for not doing it myself.)
So fitted it today, made up brake pipes swapped over hubs and whatnot.
Let the jack down and the cunts havent lowered it at all.
Lowering it myself will invalidate the warranty and am i fuck going any longer without a car and stripping everything back off.
Where do i stand/what can i do?
Luckily i havent yet fitted my front springs but was planning to do that tomorrow whilst off

i had problems with these, rear driver side caliper was fucked and the stub axle was also loose. terrible customer service. i should have got mine from IM axles abit more expensive but people have always had good things to say about them.
