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
