Are these how your Deaver Springs look when they arrived?

I've heard that Deaver coil springs get up to 451 degrees F, and just burn the cardboard off.

:flame:

ill trade you my RE5.5 coils that are nearly perfect. I'll even pay for both shipping costs

Just to jump in late, I say run them. It looks like they painted them and didn't let them dry so you would get them sooner.

True, If they took the time to let the paint dry, we would probably be reading about deavers horrible shipping, and how long it took them to ship the springs.

I can understand being upset about the appearance of those springs. I think you're making just a wee bit too big of a deal out of this though. The springs will perform awesome, and repainting them will take the same amount of time as painting bare springs would have. You're out nothing time wise.

If they posted pictures of springs with paint jobs like those that they ship, we wouldn't be having this conversation at all. Also, I'm willing to ignore long turn around times on orders, if it's clearly stated before I place the order.

my offer to trade still stands...

Thanks, but there's about an $80 difference between Deaver and RE springs I believe. I'm also no looking to run something other than Deaver. I posted here because I wanted to make sure others were aware of the condition the coils ship in.

then why all the crying and carrying on and comments like "if I decide not to run these it's going to lower how much I can sell them for"?

What?

If I decide not to run the Deaver coils, the condition they arrived make their value much less than what I paid for them. This would be inline with me declining to swap springs with some that offered an even trade for springs that are worth at least $80 less than what I paid for the Deavers.

I didn't come here looking to trade or sell my springs. I posted here to let everyone know that the springs Deaver sells do not come in a finished condition. I then made some statements, like the one you quoted, to backup the idea that people should buy Deaver springs if they plan to resell them, unless they are willing to put some work in on the springs by painting them.

I'm fairly certain that this thread was been helpful to some, therefore I think it was worth my time. If you don't like the thread, you're welcome to start your own about how great the Deaver springs are that you run.

Your opinion wouldn't keep me from buying Deaver coils(out of my budget does ha) but I did think it was helpful. It is always good to know what to expect when ordering stuff online. Like I said before, they show a perfectly pristine coil on the site and that's what someone should expect to get after paying. The fact they packaged a still wet with paint coil spring may be a sign of a problem within the company though not necessarily with the coil itself.

Reminds me of some buddies who rode dirt bikes. They would take their bikes into the shop and they would get them back all scratched up. The people at the shop used the excuse "Well you're just taking it off road and it's going to get beat up anyways, we saved you the trouble." .

If I am paying for a new unmarred product that's what I expect to receive, what I do with it after that is my business.

I'm locking this thread. What needed to be said has been said... We all know where everybody stands and it's just turned into bickering. We all need to take a step back, myself included, and realize this is still a tech section, not a BS section.
