"DHP, keeping the lathe manufacturers in business, 1 bad set of control arms at a time..." LOL

what you may not understand is that DHP is not making the best parts out there. thats not the intent. the intent is to make affordable parts.
if you want the best you need to spend 750 bucks for a set instead of 550.
any issues that have come up have been solved. balljoint cups are made in two pieces because of time and cost of making them one piece. this goes back to the first statement above.
the balljoint cups are tig welded together then turned in the lathe to get trued.
as for bushing ends, bolts are no longer used. we use threaded ends.
as for parts missing in a box, those are sent as soon as they are found to be missing. plus now theres a packing list for every item so no more missing parts.
any of you trying to make your own arms will find out soon enough that its not as easy as it looks. you keep track of the actual time you spend making those then figure what you get paid an hour and figure in parts and materials then add 30% for what the goverment takes in taxes then you see why arms cost what they do.

it's already not working out, cuz obviously anyone that cancels and order or tries to get a refund doesn't get it. I called him up a few weeks ago about my refund and he said he'd check it out and call me back and guess what I never heard back from him.

no actually you heard from me. The arms were made as in the original deal. custom orders cannot be refunded unless approved. its in the warranty disclaimer page on the site

--------------------------------------------Bullshit, I have not heard back from you except for this little post so You need to refund my money. It says refund must be approved before return... my parts were never shipped so I'm not returning them. So you might want to approve that.

Mike why don't you just man up and return lowjeep's money if he has had them on order since may 15th i think he has given you a little too much time ... it definately seems like your up to your old ways ... i hear almost nothing but bad things about dhp except the people that are happy cause they got shitty parts for a cheap price

What a shitty excuse... It takes just as long to make a sub par "affordable" part as is does to make a quality one, especially for a guy trying to get his reputation back.
Look at my pictures again, theres no excuse for that shit... I want a cup that holds my balljoint it... Not one with .025" variance across the bore. Hole saws and drill bits are easy to come by items for the upper plates, and wtf is up with that useless rod end? Maybe run a die down it so its useful?
These parts came after 2.5 months later after being quoted 5-7 days + shipping. I hope you enjoyed my money.
I'm glad all your "issues were solved" after I received my box of paper weights. Maybe i'll feed them to my unicorn and he can shit metal medallions.

incorrect, and I have emails and call logs to prove we have both emailed and spoken on the phone.
secondly I have no problem refunding the money. But it now has to go thru proper channels since Casey has went thru the BBB. Ive already sent them my reply.
