Current FFR Bilstein Shock Issue!

[marky]

So the point now becomes that we have all paid for "High quality Bilstein coilovers" in our kit which we are now not supposed to use.

Either we pony up to replace their bad product and bad engineering or put the car up on blocks. To me, this is not right.

So much for the mighty speaches from Dave Smith, they have come up with nothing other than coilovers at their cost...I didn't see this coming.

Maybe we will all get bigger zipties and more washers!

I'm pretty disgusted that it took them so long to figure out that going down a size in shocks was a bad idea and just 'might' be part of the problem
but I don't want them put out of business because of it. Hopefully something can be worked out that is fair to the customer and doesn't bankrupt the company.

I love the latest announcement from FFR stating that Bilstein will work directly with the customer to have the shocks rebuilt at $35 per shock.

In effect, this basically takes FFR out of the loop regarding any responsibility in this fiasco. If I were a customer, I would not let FFR off the hook on this one. They approved the shock and included it in all their kits. They may not have designed the shock, but they should have tested it to ensure it worked well within the geometry of the suspension. Bad bidness in my eyes.
