So if we tear down Scotty's "OEM" shocks (sorry Scotty, but
you'll be the target for this post), and they are found to be the
Quad adjustables with the Extra-Groovy -. Huch & CHuck oil (is
that stuff smokable?) Scotty is tossed. He loses the extra bucks
he spent for the Extra-Groovy . shock. If it is OEM, then all the
protestor has to pay for (bond fee) is the cost of an OEM shock.
Almost takes care of itself. If one knows the possibliltiy of a
shock being hacked, staying with OEM might be workable.
