You try to discount an dis credit what was found when actually visiting their facility by the fact that you received a part that didnt meet your standards. You assume their quality control is the worst because
1 the package that was shipped overseas to you in France and was probably screwed up by your own postal service.
2 They felt like they were made out of heavy cheese instead of light metal, whatever that means
3 there was PAINT ON THE THREADS.  When you put something in bold IT DONT MAKE IT A BIGGER DEAL.
Your posts just make you sound like a whiner. I dont have any of my own emusa parts, ive seen them and I personally expect more out of my parts. Spend the money or quit bitching all the time. Their stuff is ok for what it is. I would purchase it before I purchased complete random ebay stuff with no name on it. |
So basically, EMUSA screwed me up because i had no way to come and see them ?
You know, this is not the first time i buy something acrosse the world. The package was just a thin box, parts were just piled up separated by a piece of paper, not even cardbox. That damn package wheighted 40lbs !
This is not about delivery, this is about packaging things correctly. Last time i bought control arms, they came in 2 separate packages, each arm pair being in its own little box, and each arm bubble wrapped.
THAT is packaging, and THAT is what i am supposed to get on an oversea package that is worth the 100+$ they charged for shipping, so yes i feel screwed up. Who wouldn't ?
I did not just buy a pair, i bought the full arm set. Every suspension arm, for an S13. And i had to redo all of them, except the rear traction rods (still had to make new misalignment spacers for every arm ...)
The difference between the coilovers here and the build quality of these arms is simple :
while the coilovers are not made to make a car handle, they still do the job, and you can still drive your car safely as long as you dont try to push it hard.
The build quality of these arms are simply dangerous. That is not nitpicking, and i really dont care what you have been told at the factory; i just could not believe what i got. The metal being poor and heavy ? That is what i am supposed to get with a price tag like that, and it still will be stronger than the OEM stamped metal sheets, so i am ok with that.
but everything else ? They make these arms dangerous. A car with these things installed on is just dangerous. Play in the threads and poor non penetrating welds means they will break when loaded. Wrong taper means the knucle has nearly no contact with the stud, meaning it will brreak when loaded again. That is just NOT acceptable. Oval misalignment spacers with too much clearance means there will be play in the suspension, meaning the car will be all over the road.
And it makes me a whiner ? It makes me look dumb ? Seriously, how much are you paid by these guys to even write they have quality standards ?
You do really think this kind of build quality is "acceptable" ? They should not even be allowed to sell these ! I really hope someone sue them for that.
