True, but I haven’t heard of any catastrophic failures of HDK’s or RMS K’s or their suspension components either.
I have heard of failures of CAP K frames (now long out of business), as well as Magnumforce (redesigned since then) and most recently Gerst. Not saying I’ve heard of all the failures out there or even all the manufacturers.
And I’m sure we’ve all seen upper ball joints pop out of the factory UCA’s when they strip their threads. Factory parts fail too.
My point is just that I wouldn’t (and don’t!) always side with factory components, just like I wouldn’t blindly support any given aftermarket component without looking into the history and application. I wouldn’t worry about an HDK or RMS suspension any more than my torsion bar suspension with almost entirely aftermarket parts.
It just comes down to knowing what you want to do, how you’re going to use the car, and doing some research on the parts you want to use. Not every part or suspension system is right for every car.
Nah you’re not wrong, there’s a bunch of places in the OE suspension where there can be slop. My point was only that there are ways to fix it without a complete coil over conversion.
But, if someone really wants a coil over conversion that’s ok too. As I’ve said a bunch of times, I think you make a great product. I think a lot of people buy it for the wrong reasons and with the wrong expectations, but that’s a lack of knowledge on their part, not yours.
