A shops response about KW.....
I Emailed a shop today about getting a KW sleeve over kit installed.. I removed their name from the email but wanted to get some others thoughts on this. KW is good enough to work with AMG but not this guy I guess.
"I can't send you quotes on the KW suspension as we won't install it. I don't feel it is high enough quality to be associated with. I would be happy to set you up with a Dinan or TC Kline Racing suspension, those I can stand behind. I have seen too many owners unhappy with these lesser setups long-term and end up changing them again at some point in the future." what do you really say to that ha ha ha oh well

I guess but but they were also asked about mounting tires to some new rims and getting them balanced. Guess I would understand if they said - Hey more than Happy to get your wheel setup done, but I can't do the suspension because I only do Dinan and TC...

I had 0 problems with my KW v2 on my supercharged 330, and have heard nothing but good things about them...
Must be higher margin for them on the other stuff

KW's not only working with production cars, but they're an OE supplier to Eibach, which ironically means that some of the springs they manufacture actually go into competitors coilover kits. Regardless, I think that statement is a bit ridiculous... Personally I wouldn't trust a guy who says that because clearly he doesn't sell KW, and possibly only sells TCK or Dinan items.

If NY is too far for those guys, maybe try Rogue Engineering, they're in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ. Might be a smidgen closer.

any shop is entitled to their opinion and can choose who they will provide vendor/sales services for. So like what you said, nothing you can do, if you really want KW, find another shop for the purchase and install.
I almost feel like this person has personal beef with KW in the past, or is fanatical TCK/Dinan vendor, sort of like asking KFC/Taco Bell/Pizza Hut to carry Coke products. They can say: "I can't sell you Coke products as we won't source it. I don't feel it is high enough quality to be associated with. I would be happy to sll you Pepsi products, those I can stand behind. I have seen too many customers unhappy with these lesser beverages and end up buying Pepsi products at some point in the future." you know same shit, different products Last edited by mdosu; 03-15-2012 at 04:13 PM.. |

My KW v3 was rusted in the first winter. Springs were browned wherever they touched themselves. The piston rod was pitted from rust in the area that never goes into the oil/gas seal. They worked fine, but being 'stainless', I expected them to handle winter salt better than the usual stuff. -scheherazade |
