    Isn't that something you should be worried about? Correct me if I am wrong.

    just teething problems should be right by now all mated together. if it's still going on after the first oil change then I'd be worried

    Great to save money, but i would rather save a bit more and buy the real thing (they are on the ever expanding list). Australian designed and made. All that R&D stolen (as usual) by the bloody Chinese.

    Exactly! well put. If a product does the same job for cheaper then id go the cheaper. Its the beauty of "trickle-down-technology". Eg; once there were no lockers, one day they'll be cheap and everywhere, and one day they'll probably be standard from the factory. ARB lockers are cheaper now than they were when they first came out.

    at the very least, the Chinese may keep local stuff at a realistic price.
    even force design/strength improvements to bring us back.

    Its getting to be a bit of a joke these days adding the $$ spent, and leaving it on the table for the other half to read will = divorce.
    not lmao.
    decent set of shocks = near a weeks pay blaar blar
