M.R.S
Thank you for your thoughts. As a Mechanical/Marine Engineer who has
sailed on ships and held positions as Engineering Director in Hospitals
and Nursing Homes:
1. I would never compromise on safety for economics.
2. I also do not fall for the marketing bullS%*& from manufacturers
and marketers.
This is akin to hearing dealer say "If you don't put a Volvo part on,
you are compromising your car". I put quality parts in my cars, not
the manufacturer's 50% to 100% marked up parts. So, I believe that in
today's days and times, buying a good car doesn't mean having to make
uneconomical decisions.
BTW, the only shocks I have put on my other Volvos have been Bilstiens.
