Since Ron from Santhuff parted ways and sold his share of partnership from Santhuff, has their customer service gone downhill?
Was looking in to buying front and rear Santhuffs for the dart.
Are there any better options out there?

I hadn't heard of Ron or Afterworks. This is something I found, looks like a decent place.

I Just read that 4 Santhuff customers are not happy with the new owner.
I bieve they said his name was Chris Hart.
He will reply to you fast thru emails till you send your payment and then he won't reply back and answer any technical questions you have after the sale.
I heard there's a new valving design on the shocks with many more adjustments but I have heard the directions are vague and confusing.

Heard the service changed after Ron left.
Truth?
Everyone said Ron Galbraith sp. was great with after the sale support.

Call Afco also up scope
I really like my new Afco double adjustable coil overs(36 different settings) on the front of my S/P car that I remove a set of older Koni steel coil overs, new best 60 ft. 1.24 at Yakima, WA compared to a old best of 1.27 at Woodburn, OR last year with the old Koni. The D.A. at Woodburn was right at 2000 ft. lower also work
Al Aquirre recommend them over Koni, Santuffs and the other custom expensive brand name that I can't remember right now blush
Better price and better results up scope

I am now leaning towards Menscer shocks all around.
I heard great things about this company.
Thoughts?

This new ownership at Santhuff is a total turnoff.
Its between Afterworks and Menscer.

Menscer shocks are awesome. Spendy but I think they are worth the money.

I heard Afcos are excellent,, probably similar to Strange Engineering.
Looking for a serious set of shocks. This will be the last set I want to buy. In my lifetime.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I've never sent mine back in. But I've also never heard anything bad about Menscer either. Santoffs are great also.

We swapped out our Menscer fronts for Santhuffs, the Santhuffs are way better at controlling the landing from a wheelie. Menscers after sales service is great, I've yet to deal with Santhuff but I bought them through Rineharts. HTH's

I'm hearing now that Strange Ultras are incredible shocks.

really??? bash company and people from no real world experiences?? I sent my shocks back for a re-valve. Chris had them turned around in about a week and a half. Sometimes you have to realize these guys are small companys and its hard to respond to people questions and get the actual work done. I think right now Santuff is down to a 2 person staff. Amazing at what they doing with so few people. Sometimes you have to work with the guy. AND sometimes we do bother them....LOL
However...all good companies mentioned. Why not buy Santuffs and deal with Ron at Afterworks??? But like i said, Menser/Afco also a great company/product

Is your name Tony Russo by any chance?
Before you start attacking, you need to do a little more homework. Nobody here is bashing anyone. LOL
If I'm going to spend North of $3000.00, I want to know how the customer service will be in case I need to send them back for some reason.
AFTERWORKS DOES NOT SELL SANTHUFFS. They sell Vikings and Strange Ultras and do their magic on those 2 brands of shocks.
And I'm curious to know when you sent your Santbuffs back for revalving?

YES thats my name. I sent the shocks back in Oct.

Sorry if i offended you but to type on here that "people are not happy with the new ownerships, and Chris doesnt call you back after the sale" To me thats bashing. Did you have a bad experience with this company??? Thats all im saying Give the guy a chance. AND they are working with a reduced staff right now. Santuff is a great product as are the others mentioned. THere are dealers other than direct if your concerned with service.

You are now just one person who had good results. And like I said nobody here is bashing.
Maybe its your magnetic personality that got you your shocks back in 1.5 weeks. LOL
