If the kits include the adjustable arms, this is a no brainer. Cant wait to see the real details on the website next week.

Not at that price point. Those will be extra.

I hate you! Are you going to unwrap the parts and take a photo or keep the tease going?

I haven't unwrapped them yet, I just dropped the car off yesterday. I'll unwrap everything when we start the install. Between the 3 car builds we have parts everywhere so it's easier to keep things boxed up until we are ready to start test fitting things. We have a few things to do before we install the suspension so it will more likely get installed next week.

The kit is still not up on their website. Not sure why it is taking so long to update.

I just want to be able to point my mechanic to the kit and see what he thinks about install cost.

Trying to be patient. But getting a little frustrated.

I spoke to Donovan last week. The only parts "not ready" are the adjustable camber arms. I don't know why. The perches, springs and all associated parts are ready. The adjustable rear sway bar links are ready. 3 of the 4 rear arms are ready. The only thing they've done wrong is give the impression it would be for sale in April and here we are in June. I know I've frozen development on my car waiting too. My order is boxed up and ready to go except the camber arms. I think what we're seeing is a small company's dependence on the backlog of their favorite machine shop. I'm so excited, so impatient, so convinced ….. I wanted this kit in March!

Thanks for the update and your assessment Les, I tend to agree w/ you about all that. And we've waited this long, so what the heck, a little while longer...... Regarding the adjustable camber arms; don't you have the rear K-Macs Les? Do we really even need the adjustable arms if we have the K-macs? It's probably part of the full kit, but aren't the rear K-macs better than adjustable arms? I'm still learning here, as suspension isn't my strong point.

Yes, I have the Kmacs. 2 problems. I still smack the rear sway bar with the the stock camber arms when I use the curbs at the track under full suspension compression. The adjustment on my car only manages -1.3º on one side and -1.5 on the other. With my current set up, rear tire wear and temperatures indicate less negative camber is advisable. (around -1.2º) Not to mention, 0 negative camber is best for the 1/4 mile and I can't reach it with the Kmacs. The G/C spring rates will require a different alignment. Only after testing will I know for sure what's best. With stiffer springs perhaps more static negative camber will be needed. Our rear suspension adds negative camber and toes out under compression. I don't want to talk about the front. It hurts my head and budget.

Perhaps Corky is affiliated and nothing is happening at either place cause he spends all his time flying back and forth ?

We'd better tell Hustler that these posts are each "just a little teaser".

Justin uploaded a bunch of photos to his user gallery. Unfortunately, they are in blank or still being processed. I think these references to Corky are out of proportion and an insult to tighed1.
