I was told these were new when I ordered them......gotta love this. The good news is that they said they will refund my money including shipping.

I have purchased many things from AA over the years and have been satisfied most of the time...not all, but this is not good practice if you want to keep clients. One spring is a good inch longer than the other and the longer one is bent and clearly messed up. And then there is the shitty paint job....really. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

I stopped purchasing there in 1989, pre-Internet days. Because of something similar to this. But no need to bash at this point, people know the score.

What I will say is that an extremely lucrative opportunity was missed because of the years of bad customer service. While PB Tweeks, Mid-America, Automotion, Performance Parts and others have either died, been consumed by another entity or moved their focus to other makes and models, imagine the monopoly on the 914 parts market that George would have at this very moment. Instead, it left the door open for HPH, Pelican, PMB (Eric) and 914Rubber (Mikey914), who have all done extremely well based on their excellent t products and even better customer service.

THAT'S what I think of when I think about this situation. A perfect scenario to put a stranglehold on this particular business space and it was missed.
