So, I finally got back to working on Scarlet, and my wife let me order my shocks last month. Where do I go? PMB they are great people and awesome service. At least that's what I was told. Tried ordering boge shocks and struts from the web site where the boge shocks were listed. I received a call and was told that PMB can no longer get them. So I went ahead and upgraded to Bilsteins. This should of been a red flag, but I gave PMB the benefit of the doubt. Finally the shocks come in, with no perches. I asked several 914 owners about their bilsteins, to see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) is going on. Well the drop ship company forgot to send them. WHAT? So another weekend has gone buy no perches for my shocks. To make things even better today I discover my 914/911 shocks that I purchased from PMB have no places etched in the shock housing for the perch. So once they finally open at 11:00 or 11:30 pence again to find out WTF is going. BEFORE YOU JUMP IN TALKING ABOUT WHAT A GREAT GUY ERIC IS REMEMBER THIS, I DID NOT BUY THE SHOCKS FROM ERIC, I BOUGHT THEM FROM PMB. This has been my experience so far.

This wouldn't have been a headache if someone would have just double checked part # upon arrival. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Do you really think that a megacorp like Bilstein would box shocks with missing hardware?

All this crap thrown around because someone in the supply chain made a typing mistake. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

Really, this is the best you can come up with? I ordered from the professionals that know the part numbers. That may just be why I ordered from a member vendor. Pssst just so you know the numbers on the boxes match the parts that were in there. Know what's going on before you comment.
