Thanks a fucking lot for that informative post. Oh please forgive me ever so much for not buying $600-$2000 Tiens!!

I build computers for friends, family, and anyone else who wants one. I never ever tell people they should buy the most expensive parts. While I know that the Radeon 9800XT is the best damn video card out there I am pretty positive of a few things:

1. Some people just don't give a fuck if it is.
2. Some people do, but can't afford it.
3. Some people do, but don't need it.

Knowing that some people can't afford the 9800XT or just don't care, why would I recommend it? What purpose would that serve? What purpose does your comments serve me? How does that help me? Because I came her looking for help with my present situation, which involves the, in your opinion, cheap assed OBX coilovers.


To the people that can afford such things, good for you.

My point? I know spending what I did on the OBX coilovers is NOT going to give me the same ride as say the $1700 Tiens. Since I've never ridden the Tiens, I am only ASSuming that the ride is smooth. But lets just say I did scrape up enough money to buy them. Lets just say that in a month, for whatever reason, one of them blows out. Say I hit a pot hole, whatever. Are you going to replace them for me? Cause I sure as hell will probably not be able to afford them again. So if you aren't paying for the replacements, are you going to come down to Daly City and drive my son to his grandmother's house and me and my GF to work? Probably not.


AS it turns out, there are 1 of 2 problems, or maybe both. 1. the Tokico blues probably need to be replaced. 2. It could be a bump stop isssue that was offered above.

Since I just ordered Illuminas, I hope to take care of one problem, while doing that I will look into the others...or maybe that will fix both.
