Yours were not shipped with the first round because you ordered later. They go out tomorrow (I have to put them together first.)

Yeah, much much later.
Thanks to whomever, for however that was possible.

Looking forward to testing these on The V & RTT trip.

If all goes well, when will the Group Buy III happen, or will some be available at the tent?

They are built like brick$hit houses, very impressed, I had no idea that they would be this good for what you charged us.

Please keep us posted on ANYTHING (hint LCAB's) else you have coming up, you got some great stuff Maynard!

Thanks again for the awesome deal!

Working on that. I thought I'd have time to make all the measurements this weekend, but the owner of the shop had other plans for my time. I didn't mind cleaning up and moving a bunch of stuff because it means I get access to a lathe, but I wasn't expecting to have to do it right then instead of working on my car.

I intentionally set the stock below what I had available in case there were any mix ups. I should (can't promise) have another set. I'll be in touch.

JBort and I got ours, thanks Paul, he has already pressed his into new arms and was very pleased with their construction (after I showed him my set from the first buy).

Now I just need new blank arms... :(

Got mine, thanks! They look awesome. I'll be ordering another set if I can ever get around to renewing the plates on my E28. :alright:

Mine came last Wednesday just before leaving town.
I'll have some time this evening to get them out and play with them.

The V and RTT here I come... :haul:

do these bushings pivot like a spherical or are they solid like a eurethane?

Andrew has offered you his if you are in need of them immediately.

I will be ordering more this week. I was trying to wait until I had the lowers sorted but I haven't had time yet and I there isn't much more time before Vintage.

They are spherical pivot with a polymer race instead of a metal race like a monoball bearing.

I have a 540 bushing in my pile as well as a 528I bushing. I'll get on that immediately after Vinage (well, after a wedding I have to go to at the beginning of June.)

Yes, I know Andrew is offering me his set.

but before I was going that route I was trying to be patient and waiting a bit to see what the time line is. Note that said Trying to be Patient :)

So is there a difference between the different E39 models, or do you just have the two for reference.

His is the 540.

Cool, I'll let him know. Thanks...

The V8s use thrust arms similar to the E28 while the 6 cylinder cars have tension arms. Huge difference in the size of the bushings. The 6 cylinder bushings last longer.

Are the arms/bushings the same between all models of e34?

Take them! My bushings are in good order and I won't get around to installing them before the next order arrives.

I still haven't had the time to install the OBC interface. :(
Good news is that I put in my notice at work today and I'll be off for the two weeks leading up to Vintage. :banana:

I've got them available on the website, but I must warn you I am a little behind - been traveling too much.

Your online store is noting "out of stock" for the UCAB kits - do you have an ETA when your next run will be available?

Also, sending a PM (or will try; been a while) regarding rear custom height strut mounts to combat e28 sag.

thanks!
