jer-760: RIP OFF ARTIST
Bottom line: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM JEREMY LOWE!!!!!!
Story goes like this:
I contact Jeremy Lowe about these Ksports he has listed on the SR20forum.com as Freshly Rebuilt KSports for B14. I asked for pics and details about them and the rebuild. He tells me that he took them off to be rebuilt and in the meantime he installed some other suspension to drive on and was now selling the car and therefore the coilovers. OK.. Sounds good to me. We agree on a price of $525 shipped. I am happy for a few hours when he sends a message back saying some other guy is willing to pay a bit more. I ask if $10 will help, so I send him $535 via Paypal. I use the gift option since I see that he has good feedback here and other sites. He then comes back again that night and says this other guy will pay even more and that he will just refund me my money and sell them to him. (Wish I had taken that option). He tells me about being out of work, on hard times, have Herpes and sh*t so I figure $25 won't kill me and I paypal that over to him.
Fast forward a couple weeks and I still haven't seen my parts. I am pretty patient, but it was getting to be too long. I contact him several times before he finally responds about some shipping problems with FedEx or some such and they are on their way now. I get the parts about 3 weeks after I pay for them. A couple days later I open them up and go about putting them on.
I immediately notice that the coilovers have not been unscrewed from the bases. This means.. they have never been rebuilt. They had been washed up a bit, but the sleeves were STUCK!! I mean... really really stuck. They had been driven their whole lives bottomed out. I looked back in his posts about them aand see that he mentioned adjusting them all the way up and realixzed he didn't know how they worked. He had about 20 rounds of pre-load on the springs, but the sleeves were screwed all the way down in the bodies of the shocks. I never could get one of them loose and will have to buy a new mount and body for that one.
After I get them all on and adjusted I go to adjust the dampening. In doing so, I bounce the car to see how it's reacting. When you bounce the rear of the car it has ZERO dampening. I can literally bounce the back of the car like a freaking basketball!!! The rear are COMPLETELY shot. I had a track day that weekend so I figured I would give them a try. OMFG... I almost died. There is NO WAY on God's green earth he didn't know these were completely shot. Driving in a straight line and you feel like you're in Uncle Bucks old car just bouncing down the road. After I come in, I see oil pouring out of them.... Of course.
I've tried to contact him for the last 3 weeks and he's ignoring me. I've sent PM's Email, Text, phonecalls, etc. etc. He's been on the forums since then and is just ignoring me.
Bottom line: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM JEREMY LOWE!!!!!!
Jeremy, If you read this and want it gone, do the right thing!!! Send me a full refund and i'll send you these parts back and you can screw the next guy. I'll even eat the shipping costs!
