Those wrenches are incredible! Really tough too!

Yeah... I used to drop 100 a week on tools. I'm glad I did even though because now even though I don't wrench professionally it's so good to have

Also Matt, let me know when you want to slice into the Audi. I will be glad to help you as I've worked on way too many of those mofos. Plus I have tools.
Let me know too! Ill come help! No Audi experience but lots of tools and ASE certs with 2years wrenching under the belt.

Plus I like hanging out.

Oh yeah? Then find me this new for under $100.
That's the one I have and I had to pay $110 when it was on "sales" from the snap on guy.

P.S. shipping counts.

I ordered Burton Mission's last night, and picked up a Lib Tech T Rice last night.

I'm pumped to go boarding

so i sent my coilovers back to company X on monday. i stated very clearly that there was exessive play in the strut body where the shaft enters the strut body itself. if you were to hold the wheel at 12 and 6 and move up and down as if to check a ball joint, the play is very evident. i also said that my camber plates were bent and asked why this happened.

i recieved an email today saying that they culd not find any damage to the coilovers, there were no leaks, and that the bent camber plate is due to abuse.....

they then said they suspect my other concerns were also due to abuse and that they were sending me 2 new front coilovers.....








yea, abuse.....on a car that i daily drive on all seasons and have NEVER raced


i have to admit though, they ride amazing.

I hate when they say "abuse" and try not to warranty things. Last time I've check performance parts and or cars are made to be driven hard. Especially for Subaru when they encourage people to go racing at an event like autoX rallyX or whatnot, then if something happen then they'll try to deny you your warranty.

I will give them credit. Though they said it was abuse...they steped up and said they would be replacing them before I could even put up a stink.


Overall I still back this company and these coilovers.

if they didn't find anything wrong with the coil overs why are they sending 2 new ones instead of just sending them back to you? sounds like they're covering up to me and don't want to admit the ultra high quality of their product.
