UPDATES as of 9/14/11:

ALL - The rear extender cables were not included with this shipment due to factory error. These cables are being flown over via air freight to have them arrive ASAP. Keep in mind, the coilovers can be installed without the extenders, though the extenders make adjusting the rear dampers a breeze. Powertrix apologizes for the inconvenience but will get the adjusters sent out the minute they arrive.

MMeglen - Took care of it for you

Once an ETA is known, it will be relayed to the community. This was a bit of a surprise, wasn't found out until the boxes were opened =0

This thread will stay updated, I can promise that!

Thanks,

tilt, your inbox is full....

I'm all paid up... paid in full the second I received the email from them the other night.

Any idea when I might be getting a tracking #? I see others are already receiving theirs and I don't even have a tracking #

Didn't get a tracking number yet either. I'm surprised they're already shipped. I'll post if I get them, possibly tomorrow?

FedEx tried to deliver mine today but I wasn't here. AGH.

I called them and I'm picking it up from the FedEx store tomorrow. I think I'll wait until the rear extender cables get here to install them because I don't feel like tearing out the rears again just to put on the cables...

Oh, sorry about the PM inbox guys! Looks like I'm not currently vendor status on the forum, so it went to 100%. I'll see what I can do about that!

Shell, I'll update OP for you right now!

Is anybody going to be doing a DIY for this? It'll be my first time doing suspension and I might not be able to wait till next spring to install mine... Will be waiting for the rear adjusters to get here as well as having to buy a new jack because there is no way mine will fit under the car after the car is lowered :-)

A nice jack recommendation would be great. How are you guys going to be doing oil changes? I was using a friend's car lift but I wont be able to get on the lift with the car any lower as I almost scrape with stock setup.

There is already a pretty good DIY
These are the ones I used.
Front- http://www.hi-impact.org/ryang/modif...ock_front.html
Rear-* http://www.hi-impact.org/ryang/modif...hock_rear.html
As far as jack I just let the car down on some boards pulled the jack out and then drove off of them.
