[s-cars] RE: H&R race spring question (it broke!)

[Mark Pollan]

Don't know how creative this is but...

You may want to chat with shox.com or anybody for that matter.  Their
general approach to dealing with warranty issues is having you buy a new
widget and then sending your old widget back to them.  The in turn will work
with the manufacturer to have it covered by warranty.

I do not know if you need to prove that the previous widget was purchased
from shox.com nor do I know how hard they will work to have the widget
covered by warranty but it might be worth a creative call anyway.

Regards,

Mark

I called H&R and they said I had to deal with the company that sold the
springs to me.  They also said that they would only warranty them to the
original purchaser, which I'm not.  So unless I can think of something
creative, it sounds like I'll need to buy new springs.

I wanted the car higher, but maybe simply buying the same springs over will
fix it if they were in rough shape to begin with...

I know of only one other person that's killed these springs, and that was
during heavy abuse at an ice driving event in extremely cold temps.  Have
you tried addressing the issue directly with H&R to see if they'll warranty
them?

HTH,
Jim

Hmm, maybe I should be looking into what else might make the car too low if
it's not the springs?  Or maybe the springs were just really, really sagged?


When I bought the car it had the springs and total spent stock struts.
Would the PO driving like this prematurely wear out the springs?

Thanks,
Ed
