Just trying to budget!

Thanks
Like last time, I will have everyone pay the second half once I receive word that they have shipped to me from the manufacturer. It was only supposed to take a few weeks last time, but they got behind. Now with their busy season over, I am hoping it will be in about 3 weeks. I know this didn't turn out the be the best timing due to Xmas, but if anyone is having specific issues I can hold your order if you contact me.

Hey Paul, any developments on the LCAB's? I'd like to have these complementing the UCAB's when the car makes it out in the spring.

I apologize for the delays, but they have finally made the shells and the balls. They are shipping me everything I need for the bushings except the balls, which still need to be sent out for plating. As soon as I have the shells in my hand, I'll contact everyone to settle up.

Thanks for your patience!

As for LCABs, I will be experimenting on those next week while I am off of work.

I'd like to get in on this too if I still can. Do you want 50% now as per the original post, or should I send the whole amount? I want the Silver kit.

You can do either. I will contact everyone for their balance as soon as I have a concrete ship date.

Tentatively I am going to let you in on the deal, but I first have to make sure I have enough coming. Let me get back to you on that when I have a chance to check things out tomorrow.

At the moment, yes. I have to order them in large quantities and can't afford to sit on 30 pairs of them at a time right now.

As of right now if everyone that has contacted me completes their transactions, I have 3 sets left. After that I will be buying the next set outright and selling them on the website at a slightly higher price.

Get them while you can.

Just to clarify, everyone that has paid a deposit has their set accounted for. Few people have contacted me but not paid. If they decide to buy I only have 3 sets left.

They still have not shown up yet, but once I am ready to ship I will contact everyone for their balance payment and to confirm their order and shipping address.

Thanks!

hey moosehead, im very interested in your product. Im gonna be saving up to get your upper and lower control arm set up. I will also be wanting them pressed into new arms so all i would have to do is install the arms. If i supply the arms, how much would it cost me for the upper and lower control arms? It makes more sense to get these because the rubber ones just cant compare as far as lifespan for these. Please let me know, i can wait for your next shipment, im not in to big of a hurry cause of my lack of funds, but with my birthday and taxes coming up, ill have some :)

THank you

Once I work out whether the lower joints will be possible/affordable, I'll let you know.

The lower bushings don't go bad before the ball joints. You would only gain improved suspension action and steering feel. The uppers are the ones that crap out quickly.
