    Hey zero,

    What is your droop now with the 825mm ride height? Somewhere around 60mm?

    • When you buy stone gaurds get the ones that cover the bottom bolt. I bought some unseen to replace my original ARB ones but they were the short ones. Reused the old ones.

        • Hey Matt, bend that back away, remove the bolt and straighten up the washer back to the shape it should be. When the suspension moves that is another source of possible noise not to mention the misshaped washer will prematurely wear the lower bushes

                • Just so that you all know - Even after chatting to my bank and consumer affairs - and I know consumer affairs have contacted CalOffroad... I have yet to get the refund they owe me for the Airbag Spacers I sent back to them that they agreed to refund me for...

                  So you can now see why I was not prepaired to send stuff back as I had fear'd that this would happen and that I have an endless battle trying to get my money back...

                  BTW - I have a set of Dobinsons C59-302 front springs for sale if anyone is interested - they are new and been painted Black by CalOffroad

                    • Mmmmm........ Just read through this saga.

                      Negative feedback can go a long way with social media. CalOffroad should be concerned about this!

                      Just sorting the issue out free of charge, would have been cheap! in the long run. How many people that read this will now go to CalOffroad?

                      • Obviously their customer service is as poor as their care for feedback.

                        • Hi,


                          I drove past Caloffroad over Easter and personally I wouldn't buy anything sight unseen from them but for every bad report on here theres an ok one so what do I know?

                          I work in wholesale and experience tells me (from talking to retailers in the auto game) once a customer slags them on social media they've lost them anyway so then all help stops, refunds and anything else. As for ACCC or Fair trading I think he got around that by offering a refund early on and it being rejected left the door open and then slagging off on social media tops it off. Unfortunatley once this starts a retailer trying to defend himself on social media is a waste of time and only makes it worse and experience also tells me theres always two sides to every story.

                          • In a sense, I think you are correct, but the best possible behaviour from a parts and service business is good service and rapid correction of mistakes.

                            I've seen people slag off at suppliers and then have the supplier fix their problems resulting in praise from the customer. That is a good outcome, and it shows that the supplier does care about their customers even if they are difficult, and lets face it there are plenty of difficult customers about!

                            In this particular case, there have been so many problems with the kit and the delays in correcting errors that I think there wouldn't be many PP'ers remotely thinking of supporting that business. You can drag an iron out of the fire, but you have to act quickly. This one is welded into the fire.

                            • As above x 2!
                              They had the opportunity to sort it out and it seems didn't.
                              The OP has clearly posted factual evidence and actions.
                              Always two sides but one side has gone quiet.

                              • It's been said, but I'll say it again. I've taken on some very big boys and won, by just lodging for a VCAT hearing.
