As far as I know, there has been no goodwill reimbursement for the cost of the upgrade ($249.). I don't think it's possible to determine the mileage that a failure might occur, since driving habits (i.e. some people track their cars) and road conditions vary.
They did upgrade the mount at chassis 1670, but many are still upgrading to be sure.

As a new SPF owner, the problem with the rear shock tower mounts was only just brought to my attention yesterday (thanks Blas). I had my car up on a hoist yesterday and noticed that the stock brackets are not 90 degrees to the frame as they should be, which suggests that I should probably change them for the Cobra Valley units.
My questions are: - Is Superformance LLC (Lance Stander) treating this as a "goodwill warranty" repair and fixing it at his expense? Or compensating owners for their costs?
- If so, do you think he would do likewise for his Canadian customers, now that the Superformance Canada operation has gone belly up?
- At around what point are the original brackets failing? My car (#1336) is seven years old and has about 9500 miles on it. What symptoms should I look for, besides a catastrophic failure of the part?
Thanks. |
