Re: [DML] vendors and other scammers



I want to reiterate Bill's comments. Two years ago I had a front 
shock break, so I decided to investigate replacing the shocks and 
lowering the car.

After considerable research, thankfully I ran into Marty. I have an 
Aerospace engineering background, and it was obvious just how 
professional, and serious Marty is in identifying solutions for the 
D. We're talking about very considerable testing, re-testing, using 
time tested engineering methodology. My experience of relying on NAPA 
(or other) cross-referenced parts seems to be a bit hit and miss. I 
would much rather rely on professionals who have the expertise and 
background to recommend and stand behind their products.

Long story short, I tackled the shock replacement and spring change 
with a considerable amount of help and guidance (as well as a spring 
compressor). For a relatively small amount of money on my part, I was 
provided parts, information, guidance, and an overall value far 
exceeding anything I've come to expect. 

I personaly take umbrage at using terms like "scammers" in the 
context of my experiences with people like Marty and many of the 
other vendors.
