Exactly how I felt when I ordered my KW's and CS 8.8, except yours are better. You'll love the change in the car.

Yeah, indeed. I had to sell my F-450 to be able to afford this stuff... lol

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it. My car has about 110,000 miles and 30+ track days. This all amazingly (as far as I know) on the stock FE4s and stock diff. These parts along with a few others (rebuilt calipers, bushings, etc), it should be like a brand new car this coming spring.

I had to find this thread to remember when I ordered this stuff. It'd be nice to have it all (I have the coil overs).

Whoa! 4 months for the G-force and still waiting? They are a spomsor here and should probably jump in this thread to explain themselves! especially since they had their big sale around christmas and were advertising for these. Without the 3 month delay apparently! Have you or they contacted back and forth? Best of luck man! and your screen name sound like my last winter beater.

They are in the process of moving facilities. That shouldn't make a 4 month delay but would add a little time to the order.

Fast, Cheap, Good. Normally pick two, in your case pick one. Should be worth it in the end when it all comes together. In the meantime I would do all the rear end bushings such as cradle, ruca's, lower shock mounts, etc.

I do not agree with this at all. Unless the company clearly states there is a lead time that goes along with ordering, or is the time they need to make the parts, then there is no excuse. If i order a part and they mention nothing of the sort, and 4 months goes by!? Im hot. But I do not know the OP's entire situation. But Fast, should be removed from that statement. Cheap or good pick one. Speed has nothing to do with it.

You too sir. Pay 6,000$ for a rear end sir, then wait 1/3 of the year for it.

I ordered axles from them last week through the forum, took a few days from them just to send me the invoice so I could place the order.

He said they were in the process of moving to a new shop which could explain the delays, however it appears taking care of their customers and helping potential customers getting orders placed isn't a priority for them. I believe a lot of vendors in this market are the best in the business when it comes to design & development but could use a few business classes on customer service and supply management.
