[ot] suspension guru's need help on a3

[nealtovsen at yahoo.com (Neal Tovsen)]

If you go with coilovers, just stay away from Ground
Control. They hold the record for "fastest vendor to
piss me off". Actually, while there are vendors I
won't buy from again they're the ONLY vendor to
completely piss me off...but they did it real fast. :)

They lied to me about the parts being in stock when I
ordered, then lied to cover their tracks when I didn't
get them on-time. I would have accepted a simple
apology for a minor mistake at that point, but none
was given. Then they wouldn't offer to do ANYTHING
about it...not even to remove the extra shipping
charges I was paying to have it arrive faster (why
would I pay for 3-day shipping if the parts wouldn't
be done for three weeks??). Then the sales rep copped
an attitude, so I asked to talk to his super, who was
just plain rude to me. I then asked if they would
please cancel my order, and then HE hung up on ME!
