    Default 404 THE DC4 Bad Seller

    Yesterday i bought some skunk2 pro s coilovers from him, he said he forgot the keys to them at home and he would bring them to me this morning, well a buddy of mine brought me some keys to unlock them and all of them are blown. I'v tried contacting him last night and all this morning trying to get my money back, he refused to text me back or reply to my pm's. I thought the guy was a reputable guy but found out he's a scam artist like alot of these dudes on IA, i will never buy anything from him again, so people beware he might scam u.

    sucks man. thats what happens when you dabble into used suspension i guess......most sellers are upfront about it though. getting them rebuilt will be a little under 100 each i guess.......at that point you could have got them new.....but i hate to say it but thats the situation you put yourself into when you bought them used.they are only under warranty for the first buyer.you as the second buyer has to pay to get them fixed. thats the way the suspension game is.

    I sold him a steering wheel he is deaf so he can't "talk to you on the phone".

    So when you compress the strut it stays down it won't return? Die you try moving collar all the way up or down and trying to compress it again?

    Is it easy to compress?

    Usually a blown strut it's the opposite, it springs back really easily almost like it's loose. Although a blown strut could also compress and not rebound too.

    Is there any fluids on it? Cylinder leak?

    No oil on it, the strut doesn't rebound at all, it is blown.

    Shocks that dont Rebound like he describe, usually have the oil mixing with the gas, and shocks that are loose as hell are the extremely blown ones. lol.

    just saying I would let a shop look at it first to be 100% sure

    the spanning wrenches dont have anything to do with it if they were blown they should have done it when you bought them

    ive known andrew a LONG time i met him on this site he is a standup guy. If these were blown and HE KNEW it he wouldnt have sold them to you. I think your acting a bit fast making a thread this soon from what your saying you just met up yesterday. I agree with mike and say you guys should take them to a shop to see if they are infact blown if they are andrew should pay the cost to have them looked at. Im sure he will work something out with you he is a very stand up guy.
