Default Problems contacting KONI...

Well I took my KONI sports out, they have been sitting for quite some time since I dont have a running car yet lol. But I have seemed to misplace 3 of the metal sleeves that go into the top hat, along with the little adjustment ***** (pliers work but the **** is easier lol) and on inspection I definately need new bump stops and paint. Well I called KONI 8 times, left my name and number 4 times (nobody would answer any of the lines), finally sent a request for contact or w/e on their site. I was contacted through email. The responder deleted my 1st email on accident and I had to ask again for prices and the pieces I need. It has been days and still no response. IDK if its just me but it has been terrible customer support. I cant get a hold of them and I need these pieces. I mean damn I am trying to give them money. WTF can I do in this situation?

Wasn't there a thread a couple pages back with an almost identical title?

Edit: Yes. https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/howtf-can-i-get-hold-koni-customer-service-2835190/

This is two reports I've heard lately about Koni customer service. Wow.

This by far isnt the first time i have heard, koni can be quite difficult to get ahold of.
Call any number you can find.

I'm not anti Koni, I love their products! But the customer support that I have been dealing with makes me think less of them. They are a huge company that has been around for much longer than I have been alive but must be lacking in that area. Seriously I placed my phone calls on different days and different times during their business hours still nothing. I once called 3 times in a row and I get the answering machine every time!
