The design is flawed

The least SAI can do is share the cost with you now so that you can fix it. I'm still not clear on one issue though, was this design some sort of one-off bastard design by SAI? Or was an entire group of cars saddled with this flaw?

I am begining to think that replacing everything with another supplier is the only real solution. I don't know if any one else has or will have the same problems, and I originally was investigating getting new hats and rotors so that the rotors could be easily serviced. Now I am just getting more and more uncomfortable with the design of the suspension. I have contacted SAI again and am hoping for better news.
