for instance... sthing that kept me busy tonight as it s 1am here: the hole on the alum shock cap was too small on two of them in my kit. the plastic shock cap wouldnt go thru all the way and as a result wuldnt sit on the shock body but instead pinch the bladder like hell-> leakage liekly. I had to pull out the dremel and bore it out a bit... now all 4 shocks are perfect. I betcha i m not the only one to have experienced this in my kit, but a lot of other users either didnt even see it, and others didnt want to talk about it...

done with the car. indeed there was litzle to work on vs other brands i ve bought the past cple of years but still it wasnt perfect. the fit on my bd7 '15 was a bit better (no shims needed but then again it was mre than $100 mre). here i also had to file a couple of things especially around the c-hub and rear hub assembly to get the suspension to be 100% free, with minimal slop.

will go test the car tomorrow yeepee !!!

good night
