What brand of street shocks do you have?

"I couldnt imagine why" Simple economics. for the same reason that car makers will offer a 5-year warranty to the original purchaser, knowing that the average customer sells it after 2-3 years so they're only really expensing a 2-3 year warranty while advertising one twice as long.

Or in the US now, GM is advertising a 100,000 mile warranty. The catch is, 100,000 miles or five years (in smaller print) and they know the average buyer only drives 12,000 miles per year, so for MOST of their claims they are only going to need to worry about a 60,000 mile warranty. Even if that's transferrable to the second owner.<G>

When you require proof of purchase or proof of installation, most folks alos just can't find it, so they give up and don't put in a claim, and then they blame themselves. (Well, that's partly right.) The folks who make the best products, and usually charge accordingly, often will not play those games because 1)They've already charged you for it 2)They're proud of customer relations 3)They know the real long term value of happy customers.

But these days...it's all about what your stock price is at the end of the day, not how well you've done over the years. Sad thing.
