eibach 07 up element springs didnt fit

so last night the ups guys shows up. wahooooooo!!!! wait a minute...WTF!!!! they send me ANOTHER right front spring!!!! now i have 3 right front springs and no left. so i am on the phone and hold and the phone again and hold again for almost an hour. the, get this, they have the nerve to try to say it is my fault that i told them to send me the wrong one. are you f'ing kidding me?!?!?! i told them i need the front left spring for my truck. that is the side that i physically had apart myself and the spring was wrong. so they say ok, you need xxxxxxx part. well according to their own instruction sheet that part is described as "front spring, right" and i say i need the spring that goes on the left of the truck, not the right. to which they say, well ok. come to find out, thier instructions have a description for the way that the spring is "wound" not the actual side of the truck it goes on. this is not hinted ANYWHERE, just says "front spring, left & front spring, right" and their part numbers. so after i said that i needed a front left spring all they had to do was say "well yeah, but the front left spring is right hand wound and that is what it refers to" i would have been like ok i am just reading what your own instructions say and that is where i base my opinion for which one i need from. but they dont. oh, and the best part.... they had me send them pictures of the two springs that were the same so they knew which one i needed. i am sooooooo pissed still about this and the fact that they tried to blame me for THEM sending the wrong one instead of simply explaining to me that the instructions indicated the winding not the position on the truck makes me even more "upset" oh and they sent me a nice fitted hat and a xl t shirt with the wrong spring if anyone wants that. :x

Honda, WTF!?!?! really?

so.... now that all can see i finally got the right spring a while ago i have been fighting a binding/popping noise comming from the front end. I thought this to be something to do with the springs and not something that honda was at fault for. Boy was i wrong. a long time friend that is a mechanic thru it up on his lift and immediatly asked me where the lower spring isolator (rubber pad) was. i told him that it didnt have one from the factory. we pulled up the exploded parts view of the strut and sure enough, no isolator. i have been living with this awful noise for weeks now. so while i was checking something out today for work in service express (honda factory service site) i decide to go in and look at the removal disassembly instructions for the truck again and what do i see? in the factory exploded parts diagram they have a "lower spring rubber (if equipped)" now in there. well this is still not a part for the 07's as my friend Jason that works at honda told me, but when he pulled up the 08, sure enough, it is there. there is no difference between the raw struts from 07-08 but if you order the whole assembly with the spring and all it is a different part number cause, you guessed it, it comes with said rubber pad. that is the ONLY difference!!!! WTF!?!?!?!?! there are still no TSB's or "fix this if the customer compains" that have anything to do with this but they clearly have a problem cause they put the pads on there now... again, WTF!?!?! I ordered both the left and right 51694-SCV-A01 & 51684-SCV-A01 respectivly, as they are different for the left and right on the 07-up. if anyone has the same issue on an older one 2 of the right 51684-SCV-A01 should be able to be used and the same issues cleared up. when they get here and i get them on i will report my findings on if it cleared up the clunk, but i suspect it will as even Honda decided these were required for 08 and up models.
