I take no offense. I see the value in everything done. More than you might realize. I also see the value in selling more because it's a "little" bit cheaper. I will not be buying $25.00 pistons and will just run oil/springs. Instead of having a box of parts, I will pick and choose. That's the difference for me. If they weren't that price, i'd have ordered all three and spent much more money than I did on my order. Y'see?
Also, FYI. We had a AE rep following and supporting us on the AE threads for 2 years before he left AE. =D

It takes a lot of force to push the perch into the spring. Was it caused by a crash?
Is it possible perch could be compressed and let the spring push over? Does the spring fit snug on the perch like they do on the other corners?
I would try pulling open up the perch a little and make sure it seats snug on the spring and see if that helps.
No scratches, that's nice fresh layout clay. heh. No crash, just clean tuning. Indoor clay, with only a little triple anyway. Eyeballing it, it seems perfect. I really think it was just a fluke and I was posting it to confirm it as such, so good deal! haha.

No crash. =)

That makes sense, and I appreciate the comments. I will rebuild my shocks and boot them. I built them as I do any shock, and the fronts are leaking bad. Not sure what's up with that. (cut out bladders running emulsion. Green slimed.) They are leaking out of the cartridges.
