The first came in a damaged box and with a crumpled tube. UPS seems to be at fault. To Revain's credit they replaced him immediately. The replacement arrived undamaged and was installed with no problems. One thing I've noticed over the long run is that the piston skirt seems to be just unpolished steel. I hope this isn't an invitation to rust. Any improvement in handling just because of this purchase is incomprehensible to me as I also replaced the dampers. However, I am very pleased with the small but significant improvement in overall handling. Much luck!
