if this group buy can get off the ground and shipped this month (April) I'd be down.

i can't wait any longer, i need to get my car out of storage, which means putting on my new really wide wheels, which means i need to change my shocks, which means i need to buy some koni's or these street coils.

if there's any chance of that, let me know.

otherwise im gonna have to order the koni's on monday.

The shipment is scheduled to arrive in port at Long Beach 4/7 so I should get my anxious hands on them either same day, or 4/8, as long as they are dropped off at my work by powertrix (fingers crossed on this one!). We can expect pictures the following weekend (roughly 7 days from now) as long as I make the time to get these installed.

Munchy - Shipping in April isn't going to happen, sorry! These are going to be made to order for the SE3P platform, so there will be a wait for production. Can't wait

Wohoo, looks like I'll be getting the coils/more details tomorrow!


Just to have something to look at, Z32 running the Ultra-lites!

Turns out the coilovers arrived in port in San Diego, rather than Long Beach. As of right now, it looks like they are still in customs (always seems to happen that way!).

C'est la vie!

So maybe this is too far ahead but say that these seem like good coilovers and say I wanted to get in on a group buy. Any idea how long from now I could expect to wait till they arrived at my door?

If they check out, I'll be sure to get the ETA on them (from end date of GB) as well as other info such as standard rates, dyno graphs, etc.

I will be installing these coilovers on Saturday!

BTW -

Standard rates for all three trim levels should be 9k/6k; I ended up going with 10k/7k. I'll verify specs if this gets to the level of official pre-order. Everything is still pending receiving the product, as of right now.
