Except when you are fiddling with a coilover setup..
I did menage to drill holes in the plastic above RSMs, but eventhough coilovers need checking and servicing every now and than, so its alway better to have the opportunity to remove shocks in few minutes instead of hours.
I bought mine directly frem RE - shipment took less than two weeks, and I live in a third word part of europe ;-)
