Keep trying, I felt Anthony got back to me in a timely fashion given he was in the middle of moving the company to a different location. I'm sure he'll get to you soon enough.

hmmmm.....very curious to see what the outcome is. Very sorry for your bad luck, I certainly hope the damage doesnt extend beyond the coil over.

Smart move.

That other designed C/Over is just way too busy on the top side, with extra parts, nuts & bolts.

Im really close to shelling out the cash for a set of PFADTs as I drive my car daily and frequently take it on long road trips. I cant afford to have one of these things snap on me 8 hours from home.

I'm may have been the first one to mention this to Anthony, which cause them to redesign... I'm not sure though. The re-design stopped the upper bolt from turning when your shortening the shock length.

I later made sure mine were screwed ALL the way up into the upper housing when I completed my install.

Hi Mark, I ordered and installed my GT2's on April, 2013, would these

be the re-designed version? Do you know approx. when the re-design

took place?

I don't know exactly but the re design was a long time ago. 3 + yrs ago I think.

Contact Anthony to conform, but if you got yours in the last 2 or so years you for sure have the newer version.

Wow. I'm shopping for some coilovers now. Excellent replacement service doesn't really help much when you're sitting with a broken unit.
