WTF??? Got my Bilsteins and more!
It looks like one of the shocks has dirt/oil on it which might mean a bad shock??? WTF???
1. The shock on the bottom is dirty as heck?! This might be oild leakage from the shock, but this definatly did not happen in shipping since the sticker is severly worn and not just covered in oil/dirt. The other three were spotless and bright yellow.

2. I got one grooved and one ungrooved... I asked for ungrooved.

3. The paint is already chipping off both front shocks?!? I guess this is not a problem since it is on the bushing.

I will call them today, but since I am not experienced with shocks I needed a few expert opinions.
I am not trying to call them out. I am owner in a company that takes and recieves orders online and I know what it is like to have mistakes. My only complaint is that someone at the company actually put that thing back in the box and then it eventually found its way to my door. It may have been anyone there, but since the box had already been opened it was probably not a manufacturer defect.
Plus I just wanted to know wheter to say "you messed up" or "looks like a defective shock" or "damn that mailman"
