Hello Everyone,

We are working on them, however we are swamped with the busy race season. It is currently taken us 6-8 days to ship an order right now on products we have been making for years, so this leaves us no time at the moment to get any new products out. Once we get caught up and season calms down we will get them finished and on the market.

Thanks for the patience,
Ryan

Maybe offer a discount for those of us who have been waiting on these to some out instead of going and buying some BMR or something else..that would help with the pain of waiting..

Are the BMR's that bad? Is the diamond/extra material really needed for a street car?

Becuase there were 2 designs that were made for the vert. one being a slightly bent bar connecting the front to the back which i beilive is the one that is generally made and one call the "double diamond" which is from Kenny Brown. the DD is a better design for the verts becuase it allos more stengthen. Kenny brown does not make them any more due to he being sick or something like that. both designs are around 300..maybe bmr is 250..i dont really know..but i do know that bmr does hang lower than the DD. UMI is supose to be in the DD form and they are the only ones that are doing it. Thats why everyone is waiting...plus i have all UMI stuff anyways. They make a great product, but just slow at doing it....

Good luck at the track. Since the delays are indefinite, this thread is done.

Ryan, please post up when you have a firm date for the product. Add some pictures too.
