At that price, I can tell you two things.

1. Yes, it's a good price.
2. It is not being installed by an authorized H&R dealer, meaning you will have no warranty on the product. Part of H&R's pricing includes their lifetime warranty, which you essentially will not be purchasing.

Then those of us who have them shipped outside an area of a H&R dealer should get a discount as we are paying for something we won't gt.

Well said, but good luck getting H&R to see it that way.

So what about your customers who bought them in the group buy? Do we have no warranties because we had them installed by our local shops? Ive never had problems with warranty service from Bilstein or HR in the past even through they were installed by my local tuner shops.

BTW: you have mail.

well if you buy it from F1 and they mess up, they are gonna fix it for you. F1 is the best place you can go for the 818 area.

It's pretty simple - if you don't buy from an authorized distributor, the warranty from the manny is void, and any warranty is on the installer's dime (if there is one). Most aftermarket parts manufacturers do it this way. What's to be confused about?

well a lot of people are authorized dealers. F1 is an aithorized dealer of HnR. if you have an account with them then you are an authorized dealer. F1 is even the brabus distributor for their area.

The point is that I have never had a problem in the past with warranty service when I had suspension installed by my local shop. It did not matter whether I had them installed by a professional shop or if I isntalled them myself. Their statement leads me to believe that I am SOL if I have a problem with anything I buy from them, because I am not willing to get them isntalled at their shop.

No, he's saying that's H&R's policy, not his. Every manufacturer has a different policy. And some shops will "bend" the rules more than others, which I'm sure is hard for manufacturers to keep track of if your shop is going to that extra mile for you, or lies for you, depending on your perspective.

And my point is

that Ive not EVER had to even show any proof to the manufacture that an authorized dealer installed the suspension for me. And no retailer has had to bend any rules to get me warranty service. This was with both HR and Bilstein.

This is kind of confusing... This sort of implies that you don't get a warranty on the produt even it was purchased from an authorized dealer but not installed by an authorized dealer. As a couple of people have said, don't you get the manufacturer's warranty as long as it's purchased from an authorized dealer? Or does it need to be installed by an authorized dealer as well to get any sort of warranty?
