Vacation time is fine, but when I first sent him the joints he said it will take no less than three weeks. It has been over three months, as long as I get my order before the first drift event I'm okay, but three months is an absurd amount of time for just joints and tie rods. I got his knuckles last year and that took three weeks, which makes sense, and the knuckles are freaking awesome, the car feels like a totally different machine now. I just hope I can get my order in time, that's all.

so to answer some of your questions.
1) i will be responding to my emails monday (i have 21)
2) i am super swamped with orders right now some of which have bean waiting since september to give you guys an idea of how backed up i am.
3) right now i have 32 orders about half are for full kits which take the longest to complete. (about 4 days if i don't get distracted by walk in customers)
i am a one man operation so i have to handle every aspect of orders my self manufacturing, arend running, book keeping, customer service, and shipping. so i have a lot going on.
in regards to me giving completion dates and not meeting them.. there is no excuse i just really suck at estimating how long parts will take a lot of times that is definitely my weakest point no doubt. it is hard to give an accurate time frame when orders are so far out. the only parts that get shipped out right away are machined parts like tie rods and rack spacers since i almost always have lots in stock. although 2 weeks ago like 10 people all ordered tie rods the same week and some ordered multiple sets so i ran out of stock on the shanks. a new order should be here by thursday. hope this clears things up for you guys so you know what is going on. although you are understandably disappointed with the wait time i assure you, you will not be disappointed with the quality of your order. also keep in mind i do not have a smart phone. i only get on line to check emails and messages at night on my computer.

How long is the current wait for the entire kit? Have you heard anything Cody?
If we order the full kit will be receive the rack spacers and tie rod ends, then the knuckles and ball joints when finished?

This doesnt make me happy.
It takes days for him to email me back. I stated that if I dont receive my goods within the PayPal allotted time, I will pull my funds. Im not trying to be an *** but, its the only way i can protect my investment.
I feel sorry for you guys that have been waiting months already.

What do you mean not doing FC, the items are out on their site, might be a wait for next batches, the kit is far superior though with its own arms and dropped knuckles, you get what you pay for, and we didn't pay for proper roll center.

^^ did you guys send out your spindels??
I know shipping front and back isn't quite the cheapest but if you guys would have shipped your oem spindels this probably would have been done a lot sooner. Took me a while to find a spare set to ship out..

I would be fuked if I sent my **** first. And even more angry about the wait. It clearly states on the site that u send them in after he sends the product. Thats why u get charged the $150 core
#118
Thats what I meant. They're not doing them at the moment. Been out of stock for a while. I would buy them but Abercrombie seamed legit. Wish I knew he was terrible at time
#119
He claims to check his mail nightly. Thats bs. It takes him days to reply. Im getting frustrated. It seems he needs a qualified hand in the shop if he's so far behind.

Or maybe he dsnt have a set.. that's why he hasn't shipd???
But yeah stay on top of you PayPal
See Pbm is smart they make your kit when they receive your old spindels... That way they don't have to go out and find cores..
Rotary1: oh ok then yeah shouldn't have taken That long GL
