What the hell? Dec 19th and you 'already' have yours? I ordered mine over a month earlier.

As unorganized as this process was, I'm not surprised. I hate the fact that you still haven't gotten yours yet. I have been blowing up Gforces phone since jan 2nd, so that could be the reason. Casey is nice about everything, but niceness only goes so far. Waiting on parts, parts not delivered, etc etc. It's ridiculous that they are doing this kinda **** on a kit that costs over 1/3 of the cars worth now (assuming we all have <$21k cars, i know not everyone does).

So the pumpkin showed up today from Strange. Supposedly everything will be on its way by next week.
Side note, rear coilovers are on. And they're 8.6 pounds lighter each.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by the added bonus benefit of these. I'm looking forward to seeing the weight of my car after the seat swap and everything (I think the weight of the cage should be more than offset. The seats without brackets are 19 pounds each. ) The last time I had it weighed it was about 3700 pounds.

To order the coilovers give LG a call. They never got much interest apparently so each set is made to order and it takes a while.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm having to send the whole kit back. The passenger side axle stub isnt sitting flush and is leaking. We've tried everything, even went to KS to talk to them in person, still leaking. 5 months of this ****. Simple bolt in with minor fab work my ***. For 7k, this should have been easy.

Haven't posted any updates because I keep having a "Bad Request" issue on LS1Tech exclusively with Google Chrome. So I have to use IE to browse...
Anyway, I'm going to start another thread about my coilovers and roll bar install to leave this one for the 9" discussion.
That said, I wish I would've known about all these bad experiences BEFORE I ordered everything and it started showing up (glad I got hooked up with free shipping. This **** is heavy). I've been getting parts of the kit in the mail. Looks like I should have everything by tomorrow or next week. Hopefully, I'll end up as one of the 'lucky' ones...

I have a new update for yall as well. The pumpkin has been leaking ever since we installed it about 3 weeks ago. Finally got to the point of pure anger towards this. So, for the final solution, we are trailering my car to KS so Gforce can install it themselves and going back the next weekend to pick it back up.

I was close to trailering it myself, but I spent 7 years turning wrenches, was ASE certified for 5. I have done countless engine, trans and diff jobs, clutches, you name it. It is a design issue. i am going to pick up some more seals for the aluminum outer retainer that was finally added to mine once I did send the pumpkin back. I am hoping that it is just venting a little of the grease out of the seal that may have been packed in there. The diff is in essence double sealed "I think"
As for the vibrations form driveline angle, I will start a new post soon. IO am working on fitment for a 1 piece DS with 2 CVs so there is no u joint angles to worry about. Cadillac used 2 cvs on the back half of the OEM DS for a reason.

Guys this sounds like an absolute nightmare. Was looking to pick up a V1, slap a 9" and a S/C on it and go however it sounds like that would be much more of a mess than I'm interested in. Time to start reseraching the 8.8 rears!
OP, good luck with getting everything together.
