I would have to say that Dan is at fault 100% for that one for trying to pass off used crap whether intentional or not.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Although i had deleted the original post, some of you probably had a chance to read it before i deleted it. Anyways, I'm writing this post today to apologize to Dan@vividracing for my actions last night. I should have contacted him first to work things out with the issue i had with the JIC coilovers.
After contacting them this morning, we were able to work things out. Dan is a good guy and a valuable sponsor and vendor for the rennlist/porsche community. I hope that other members who read my post last night are not discouraged from doing business with vividracing. They are a very good company to deal with and I would certainly do business with them again.
It was not their fault that their supplier sent me a defective product. Dan contacted the supplier for me and explained to them my situation. And the supplier agreed to accept the return on the defective coilovers. JIC is the one that I should be mad at not Vividracing.
I guess there are a couple of lessons that i can take from this experience.
1. Always check your parts for anything and everything before starting the install.
2. Venting on a public forum before working things out with someone is not a good way to solve issues. Or else you will be in my position and look like an idiot. But hey, i'm man enough to apologize for my mistake.
Regards,
Bao
ps. Thanks to Eric and several other members who adviced me to delete the post before things got out of hand. That was the right thing to do.
BAo - I didn't see your original post but read other posts on thr thread. Kudos to you for stepping up and clearing this up with Dan and the on the Forum!
what had happened was that half way through the install of the coilovers, i find out that the rear coilovers had previously been installed and damaged by whoever installed them and returned them to JIC. The threads in the holes were completely stripped. I had already installed the fronts and completely tore out the rears, and when it came time to install the rear coilovers, i couldn't becasue they were damaged.
What made me mad was that i thought these were supposed to be new, didn't expect to recieve damaged/defective goods. It was late at night and i couldn't contact vivid, so i posted my frustration on here. I was tired, dirty, and it was hot. I just wanted to finish the install... Now i have to uninstall the fronts and when the new set arrives i can put them back in.
I hope you guys understand where i'm coming from and that this doesn't affect my credibility on this forum. I really like this forum and all the positive aspects of it. It has helped me alot with all the questions and problems i've had since owning a porsche.
Thank You
Way to step up. Tough to do that and is very commendible. However, if I recieved used parts I would be LIVID (pun intended)! I would have to say that Dan is at fault 100% for that one for trying to pass off used crap whether intentional or not.
It was actually shipped straight from the manufacturer, which was JIC. I was told of that the day i ordered the coilovers and the return label stated so. So Dan had no idea that it was used. I'll back Dan in this instance.
Finally someone who feels me!
Well done for standing up. It's easy to say something too strong in the heat of the moment - it takes strength of character to do the right thing afterwords.
