Current FFR Bilstein Shock Issue!

[marky]

Further to Todd Butricks pics earlier showing failures, I am not going through the 6 pages to see if its been said before in this thread...but what you are seeing is a shaft that is 9mm thick at the threads.

Now it doesn't take a genious to realize that its not enough.

I am guessing Bilstein are not cooperating because they suplied the shock as requested. FFR converted it to a coilover and decided it would work at an angle.

While all these shock threads going on, Dave Smith told us that safety is of the utmost importance and that they were working on it. In two months they have released new products ahead of schedule, but the shock problem is right were it was 2 years + ago. Only difference is no washers and zipties this time round just discounted replacement koni shocks at customers expense.

UNSATISFACTORY AND WRONG

That's right, you're guessing and that's not the way these things happen unless FFR is totally over the edge. Company "A" didn't call up company "B" and ask for 200 sets of your part #3224543-98". You get that... right? They met with Bilstein and presented them with a volume purchase proposition to meet a certain set of qualifications to deliver a part to meet a pre-identified set of parameters. We still don't know who was at fault for delivering or spec'ng in the part. "Converted to a coil-over and decided it would work at an angle" Are you for real?

To jmimac351's post, there was some SERIOUS problems with the verbiage descriptions on the FFR web store and I'm not surprised at this confusion. I had a hell of a time ordering the right Konis for my car.

In trying to keep this thread on track, anyone have some data to back up why they think these things are failing? I have some ideas and I think Bobcat has offered some significant observations.

We already know FFR is ultimately responsible. Get over it already. Offer something worth discussing or piss-off.

So we can assume that you know for a fact that FFR met with Bilstein and specified the parameters of the shock to be built for them? If you do not know this as fact, then you are also guessing.

As far as deciding what is worth discussing, trust me, you do not make that decision.
