any one hear anything bad good or other wise i need suspension hella bad and i aint got no $$. please pm or hit me back on here if you know anything about them or heard anything at all
Aside from the typical "It's not worth anything if you didn't pay top dollar" crowd I haven't heard anything negative aside from 1 build quality issue that was sorted before the part went onto a car. Guy got a replacement shock from them, it had the same defect (mounting surface or something like that) so they offered him his money back and he took it. They're cheap enough just try them out and you can guinea pig them for everyone

Also my wife wants a squash from you. Could you bring me one on tuesday? Along with that battery cover #1 for her 07 mazda 3

He sent them back but got his money back. I think it was the brake line mount was on the wrong side or something mundane like that. In reading some of the e46 bmw forums the consensus from people who aren't just parrots seems to be that they've never seen an outright failure of the suspension that wasn't due to an improper installation. Now how you can install shocks and struts *wrong*, I'm not sure. I think it mostly had to do with people trying to be as slammed as possible, running on the lowest setting and pulling off the bump stops/standoffs.

So I guess as long as you're not an idiot, it shouldn't be a problem? The plus is that I've only read about how good their customer service is, so at least if you have an issue, you shouldn't have a problem getting it sorted out.

Jeff I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy a set of racelands in the next few months just to have a extra set of suspension. I'll pay $388 to test them out. I haven't heard anything negative really..
