I would have to agree on the shock finish. The plating on mine is terrible also, but the shafts are fine, mind you the seals don't touch them with the amount of oil I'm loosing.
Apart from the shocks I have been really impressed with build quality of the Cat.. hopefully the Nor-Tech seals will sort things out..
