Gezzzzzzzz, glad I'm buying a T/S converter and I bet everything lines up right the first time. I had the same problem with a tci converter I bought for one of my cars, also had a soft foot on one of the pads that needed to be shimmed, what a bunch of crap! The only ones I ever hear of not lining up are tci's? You'd think after as many phones calls they get about peoples converters not lining up they would do some Q/A.
