and what about the great customer support which has been referred to ?
did they give you another set
or once bitten, twice shy for you ?

Maybe S&S likes me better... :nixweiss: LMFAO

One distinction on the Feulings; at least in my experience or the anecdotes shared I'm aware of.  Seen or know of a few failures with the more expensive Feuling "Race" lifters but nothing extraordinary with their lesser expensive "HP+" version.
I got the HP+ for my build and then decided to look elsewhere after reading about the Feuling failures
Will save them for later

I looked at S&S Premiums but they appear overpriced
thought about S&S Standards
but got Hylift Johnsons instead
and now it seems the S&S Standards are made in Mexico

Maybe S&S likes me better... :nixweiss: LMFAO
Not interested in comments about great S&S customer support because I know its not
Know of others outside the US with similar experience
Maybe they only offer support within USA   :nixweiss:

Basically just took several recommendations I received and went back to stock lifters

Heck, for all I know, S&S might only support customers in Florida  :nixweiss:

'Could be the reason that John, Kirby, and others in the Sunshine State use / recommend S&S??  :nixweiss:  ...We're hogging all the Customer Support, not to come off as selfish, but it works for me...LMFA :coolblue:

One of the many reasons CVO Harkey is my favorite Forum is the "Vendor and Customer Service Reports" Sub-Forum,,, All things, Good, Bad or Ugly can be brought to light there...

Jims lifters look pretty interesting.   But they are like $100 each!
