That BEGS the question, if they have prices, and info, and have done testing, do you know what the holdup could be? I would think a few months would be enough time to get at least a few kits put together for sale or at least post the info on the website so potential buyers can get their answers and figure out which kit, if any, they would like to purchase. I know this is not your shop and you are probably just as frustrated as we are, but the way GC runs their business leaves a lot to be desired.

Les, have you heard anything, do you have a kit yet?
If you do get your answers, can you share your findings? Not sure why its all been so tight lipped

I sent an email to them, no response.

This is just strange at this point, no?

Like the BEGi turbo, I've had the money, waited, spent it, recouped it, waited, spent it... Now I'm saving to get to Indiana. Hopefully in a year or two when I'm there and settled they'll have them ready lol.

I contact Donovan every 2 weeks more or less. I don't know what the holdup is and he's not saying much except what we've all heard... some of the rear arms aren't ready. Since enough time has passed to make them more than once I kinda think ....... no, I'm not thinking. Just waiting. It's ready when it's ready and I'll quickly get the suspension tested on various tracks and find out what it does well, or not so well.

I'm glad I didn't stick around to wait on these and just swung for some KW V2's instead....lol. Seems like a lot of falses promises being made. I keep checking the thread to see if anyone has gotten a set yet just because I am curious to how low they will be able to go versus the KW's.

Well, I have spent all my mod dollars this year on the house. It needs modded a bit......lol. New paint, new side skirts(gutters), and some new floor mats(hardwood). I can at least dream I'm modding....

better to get the parts tested before having them shipped out. I would not like to return the arms if something was needed to be altered. Shipping cost is a ***** from here.
But soon it will be shipped, and I will be ready for install

Needless to say, I'm happy for you, your car, your ride ... etc. I currently own the best you can buy for the track. When and if something better is for sale, I'll buy it ..... if I still own a Crossfire.

IF you still own a crossfire? Starting to sound like me. I haven't had much time for cars this year, and dancing around two in my garage is starting to make me want for just one monster car in my garage again...lol. But, I could never get anything near what they are worth to me, so I might as well get over it. Hell, Les, with what you get to do over there, I would just strip her down, and make a GT car out of it, wing and all... Now, where are these suspension kits again? I am still willing to invest if they ever appear, but not until the house is completely finished now...$$$$ go there 1st.

I'm still holding on. Sold my house and air conditioned garage. renting a house without a garage is depressing while the new place is taking so long to get started. I was hoping to check back in here and see these kits selling like crazy!

I keep in contact. Donovan hasn't said much about the delay but from bits and pieces of information, it seems that when the first set of camber arms came in they went looking for a car to install them on. Found one, installed them, weren't happy with the amount of adjustment or clearance or whatever, so they were redesigned. New prototypes made and installed on the same or another test car. I don't have the facts, reading between the lines and words has lead me believe I'm close to the heart of the matter. How close are we to the release? Don't know.

Thank you for that. I was starting to fear the worst. I don't understand why they can't just post (facebook) and let us know what's going on. Even if it's not great news, it goes a long way in maintaining consumer confidence and patience. Again; I look forward to the reviews from you and Justin when it happens Les.

I got a tracking number yesterday for what I believe are the camber arms. I'll find out tomorrow what he sent me.
