It shoudlnt be too big of a deal since the coilovers havnt even shipped yet (assuming most of the people wanting the brackets were in the group buy). kind of annoyed at that since i wanted to put them in this weekend and i probably wont have them and it will have been 2 weeks since i ordered them.

Meh... I'm definitely in no rush at all. I just thought I'd harass Jake a bit.

I was pretty excited to find that QA1 is actually made in Burnsville which is only like 30 minutes from my house. Just going to drive down there some day and get setup with coilovers once I get the brackets. Gonna be fun.

update:

called the plasma guy and asked him whats up and why i dont have my stuff yet. well, didnt end up well. needless to say, i just spent a couple hours in the garage and started cutting them out myself. got quite a few lowers done. gonna make some uppers tomorrow and then start shipping them out on wednesday.

i apologize for those that ordered and have waited for a while and am dissapointed. if its any consolation, im pretty pissed off too. anyway, yall will be getting tracking numbers in the next few days.

No problems here, don't sweat it. I am sure everyone would prefer quality over quickness so take all the time you need. I might see if you could make me up some other little things down the road. By the way, be sure to let me know when you come down this way again.

Will we need to use spacers with these brackets if we are using a Fox Coilover? If so, what size? Just want to be sure I will have everything I need.

You couldn't really get any more lift than from cranking the t-bars since the cv angle will be the limiting factor, but you could get that same lift without the sh!tty ride

Im totally digging this by the way - going to hold off on the dolla for now, only because I dont have that much cash sitting around - I want to get a set of sliders before winter this year.. along with a few other things - but thanks to slow work I dont think Ill have enough cash set aside to do this as well. Totally anxious to see what things look like for ya all!

spacers? im going to make them just a hair wider than the fox coilovers with misalignment spacers. basically, youll be able to put them in there with easy, then tighten them down nicely. if anyone wants their made a little wider for something other than fox shocks, just let me know and ill make it happen. just try to let me know before i pm you with a tracking number. lol
