Hi guys,
I received my Kraton 8S a couple of days ago and I'm enjoying it quite a bit (as far as I can with the current weather conditions). I'm aware of a set number of cases in which people have prematurely bend/broke their 8S. It might be due to driver style, who knows. But it's common sense that a car with that weight is going to suffer from (major) jumps. I might upgrade my chassis in the future, and the M2C 8S 7075 chassis is a solid option. But since I live in the EU I'm looking at a $350 price-tag with shipping and taxes. I won't be doing that since it's 59% more than M2C's asking price.
Are there any European distributors of M2C's products (or similar brands/products) which have stuff for the 8S in stock?
And also; what did you guys do to fix the premature wear of the shock tubes due to friction between the tubes and the shock spring? It mainly occurs on the rear shocks, about halfway through the spring scratches past the tube. It will clearly wear out pretty quickly when you drive a lot, some of the red paint has actually already worn out.
Thanks in advance!
Greetings
