gauging interests, front suspension package
At this stage dont keep calling Tom, as soon as I get his Paypal address I will post it, just send him the deposit and your mailing address, he'll then contact you with the balance including shipping after about 2 weeks when they are ready. Lets keep it simple for Tom.

i agree with that let this guy do his job even if we have to deligate one person to be the main contact with him that may be the easiest.

good to know that this is happening, i hope everything goes smoothly, just a side note however, that i previously said the spring should be 8" long, that is not true, you'll probably need 7 or 6" springs (both of which are readily available) depending on how low you want to go (6 is probably the magic number). I'll post some pics of my 8" later tonite, but at the bottom of the perch, with 375lb spring rate, the front has about 1.5" of clearance.

OK I've got his Paypal account, it's "bunchofbul@yahoo.com", his name is Tom, a reminder to pay $140 deposit asap, he will begin building once five deposits are made. Expect turnaround to be 2 weeks.
Include your shipping address in your Paypal payment.
Pm me when you've paid a deposit so i can keep track of how many and who.

LOL, I was going to say, why would anybody name a business payment site as "bunch of bull" and expect people to think he's legit? I'm not saying its a scam, but he could have chosen a better name for it. At least it looks like he has more design capability than business sense. 
I dont think the internet is his strength, he operates a local engineering buciness, oh and races an Fb which is why he designed these parts.
I have spoken to him a few times now, sounds like a genuine person, he's surprised and pleased there's any interest in these at all. Zyrano found him and was fortunate enough to get his spare set which he's successfully installed.
I had to explain how to utilise his Paypal account.
2 paid, three more by mid next week.

lol, yes, computer and internet isn't his strong suit, that's part of the reason i made this post to begin with. and i don't think his email address was originally created to do business. But I can verify that there is a full shop with at two cnc machines, a mill or two, and a lathe, all in a actual industrial unit. whatever that is worth...

ok guys, here are the installed pics, I screwed up in the sense that it was taken on an incline, but it shouldn't make too much difference.
The front are currently 8"x2.25"idx375lb/inch springs, with the coilovers on the lowest perch. The rears are ground control 175lb/inch springs with all coils intact (this spring is made with dead coils that can be cut off to lower the car. i priced out some 6" springs, and it's going to be about 100 bux a set, so i'll order those soon, and cut the rear springs and see where things go.
