true.. their just (ALL of them advertised) cold wound steel... they however don't sag but I could imagine them shattering at high speed bumps as stated... especially in winter...Originally Posted by bennjamin
after already having them as well as a few people who have... we all think their OK but will never go back to them.
especially since they don't have the additional preload springs, they dont have full compressed contact against the upper mounts and are therefore free moving
they don't sit on the perches properly and slip around and make clanking noises.... this slipping causes MASSIVE extreme camber shifts instantly!!! The rubber bush that comes with them dies in 1 week due to the shifting, even sikaflexing them to the perches don't help. Plus.. one main reason they will never be road legal is coz in Aus, sleeves are required to be welded on to shock bodies (as i have been told by a sussy shop) these simply attach to the shock body via 3 allen key screws from the sleeve which constantly loosen and eventually digging a hole into the shock body from resulting vibrations.
Also due to extreme stiffness, you will have to get VERY decent tyres as a result of traction loss due to these not absorbing much forward inertia on hard brake...
