Stoney Baby, go back to the FFForum. Dave Smith just addressed this problem.

Dave Smith's reply is great news! That's all myself and many other have wanted. I have loved FFR for years and that is part of what made all of this so frustrating. I hope this thread will end with everyone over here seeing what a great company FFR is and how one Saturday morning Mr. Smith stepped up to the plate and started the ball rolling the right direction!

...glad to see your post on ClubCobra apparently made the difference.

It’s Saturday morning and I was told by a customer that there was a new post on one of the discussion boards re: Bilstein Shocks breaking!

yes, there is a veritable love fest going on over there now, nevermind that this has been going on for a couple of years now and the problems voiced to FFR for some time. Now that the talk has shifted to severe liability on FFRs shoulders, the tide has shifted and the company now has gotten a conscience. give me a break,this should have been taken care of a long time ago, and many owners have gone through countless needless hours fretting about the safety of their cars and trying new untested options handed out by FFR, none of which were cheap.

Entdoc,

Why does it bother you so that people are loyal to a company? From your signature line you have some nice cars; do you not care for the company they are from or is it just FFR?

FFR asked and received all the broken shocks they could get last year and their engineers came to a conclusion in July. All of this was published then.

Funny the thread that started this last round was probably due to the number of coils in the spring. Something that was identified last July and recalled if I read the notice I received correctly.

What are the new, untested and not cheap options that you are speaking of that were released by FFR?

I for the life of me cannot understand what you hope to accomplish with your post other than just being mean spirited.

Just sign me,
A happy FFR owner that still runs the Bilsteins.

Actually there were some outside influences before their engineers found a problem

Also a happy multiple FFR owner (my current one is now for sale), but one who knows a little more than to blindly follow based on one forum or another........

Bill,

I understand that and I believe this time it took some squeeking to get the attention needed to bring it to the forefront.

I don't blindly drink the koolaid but I also don't believe harping on something that is being addressed is productive.

I am satisfied with what I got for my money from FFR

but hey, I've been wrong before
