Fatman Spindles

[TitoJones]

Bret (Fatman) and Bret (air ride):

Fatman first-

I don't give 2 sh*ts if you want to pass yourself off as some random bystander on the internet, pretend you work for the NSA or CIA and that you have 12 passports from 9 countries.
What I can't stand is when a company cannot back up a single statement they've made with proven factual data. Fatman is one of those companies. You make street rod stuff, which is great, the market could use another pair of chromed out tubular control arms, but don't think that for one second you belong in this segment.
You are not a Pro-Touring manufacturer, no matter how hard you try to re-brand yourself as one. You have already proven that you don't understand the basic fundamentals of suspension geometry. You have been asked to bring the tech, and you bring apologies. You don't even understand WHY your product doesn't work the way you claim it to. That is a huge problem for a company trying to sell parts in this niche. You said you wanted to learn about the industry, so here is a piece of advice:
Listen to what we are telling you. We know what we are talking about. Read a book on suspension- hell read 3 or 4 of them. Then come back here and answer all the technical questions asked of you.



air ride next-

Bret-

I'm sure the other Bret is one hell of a nice guy who would do anything for one of his friends. I hope to god you realize that when you recommend a manufacturer that has known provable flaws with their stuff that this reflects badly on you. You are knowledgeable on suspensions, so you must comprehend what we are trying to get Fatman to realize. If you don't, there are plenty of us who would love to help educate you, since you have helped this industry for the better.
