hottuning warranty

[Mikester]

I hope so mate, i really do. Not that i would want to fit them on my car again! lol.

The road in colchester are appaling.

On the way to work today, in my dads discovery, some of the bums still felt like death. And thats a bloody 4x4!

I've had mine on for 18 months, done about 12,000 miles on them and they're fine- I'm not running mine very low though as I use my car for work and often have loads of stuff in it...

I could have sworn I had the Raceland ones from Hottuning but looking at the paperwork I have got the TA Technix ones fron StreetwearTuning in Germany.
Mine have been on two years now and had a look at them on the ramps today and they are fine.

Good advice from Horney - you cant put stiffer suspension on old bushes and expect them to cope. If you uprate one part you really need to uprate the parts used to attach it.

As far as your Hottuning warranty goes get yourself a letter from an engineer or your local garage and send it to Hottuning. They cant expect you to send the faulty shock back to Belgium leaving you off the road (but should you be driving with faulty shocks?)

I bought mine well over 2 yrs ago, have driven them hard a lot and have no issues with them what so-ever..

People who are running them right at the bottom of the thread daily are going to experience breakage simply due to the limited oil compression in the damper from running so low.. i wouldnt be suprised if they bottom out quite often on bottom thread..

from a handling POV, i regularly have a wee play with my mate who has an ibiza tdi lowered 40mm and he cannot touch me into and around roundabouts and twisties, thats him having more power than me also.. bearing in mind he kills me out of the straights..

maybe the build quality has got worse but i cannot fault mine...

I completely agree with Horney on this.

Had mine since Nov '08 and the coilovers themselves have been fine. The attached components on the other hand haven't. Needed new track rods/ends and top mounts since.

As long as you keep the coils greased they shouldn't seize either

Also there's something about the car now which makes me think the whole interior has been shaken loose slightly

i know theres been alot of gripes about customer service, but i have had a reply straight away to my email.

bassically they have sent me a warrenty form i need to fill in, send a picture of the fitted coily, and a copy of the invoice, and then they will sort the rest out.

I dont know if anyone else has got to this point?

Yes. About a month ago....

[adamrob69]

i see,

taking a picture is not really going to prove much is it unles its a really obvious fault.

[Mikester]

Taking a picture proves that they are leaking. But thats about it.

To be honest, the springs could snap and it wouldnt be their fault. I dont expect to get a reply or jack sh!t for my claim.

All i know is, i wont bother buying from then again, and will do my best to make sure others dont.

[shrocco]

talk about jumping on the bandwagon.

Oh god no I'm not that much of arsehole!
