What happens is that the car starts bottoming out pretty hard, to the point where one can plainly hear it, and the shocks are wet upon inspection. |

"BWI" is a company somewhere in China (PRC) which deals only with vehicle manufacturers: eventually, I was able to locate their website and people must have tried to contact them before, because on the front page of their website they explicitly state that they will not deal with retail costumers.

I recently heard an interesting tidbit from a guy who runs a local speed shop.
He told me the company that produce(-d/s) these shocks (BWI I believe) 'officially' stopped production (as we all know) but that they actually do run short-term batch production on a very seldom schedule. He told me that even recently he's been able to source shocks 'reliably' from a number of the big wholesale sources. When they're listed as out of stock, you need to actually call and speak to someone. Oftentimes they'll say 'out of stock' because they have no real way to consistently say when they'll get the next small batch, don't want to have too many orders placed, etc., but if you call and speak with someone they oftentimes will say 'yeah we got a batch of them xx weeks ago sitting on a shelf' or whatever. I have done zero truth-seeking for myself on the matter. It's just what he told me, when I was there. It may be worth some phone calls for you guys that are in dire need. |
