    Ok guys, sorry for the delay in updates.

    Here's the current situation:

    1) We are waiting for the damper bodies to come back from the salt spray lab (all of our dampers are tested and certified to 250hrs), which should be next week

    2) we are waiting for our new shipment of springs to arrive from Swift, which again should be next week

    3) we can then assemble the kits and contact everyone individually regarding payment/shipping

    Thanks!

      1) is every single damper body getting spray tested?
      2) it was my understanding the swift springs were optional and cost more. What about the people that chose not to run swift springs? Or are they being all changed to swift springs for same price
      3) what's the update eta then? Is it safe to say they are stateside?

        It wouldn't matter if they have swift springs or not for assembly as the dampers have the same eta.

          Normally a sample part or parts from each coating lot would be tested, but you wouldn't proceed with production to the next operation until the coating tests are complete/good. That way on the off chance that there is an issue with a batch of coating you just remake or recoat that batch of dampers vs. having to disassemble the entire finished product. I'm sure they are doing something similar.

                    Hey guys,

                    ok, new update for you.

                    1) Test report came back good, so we can now start assembling the dampers
                    2) We have the shipment booked in and ready to go to port (Keelung, TW) next week
                    3) Provided everything goes smoothly with logistics, they should arrive stateside end of the month (LA Port)
                    4) US customs is a PITA. Sometimes containers clear in a day, sometimes it takes a couple of weeks. Will update you on this when the time comes (as I hope you guys can understand, this part is completely out of our control)
                    5) The Swift springs have already arrived at our US facility, ready to be assembled with the dampers

                    Like with all of our other coilover pre-orders, we have 2 options for you:

                    1) Accept the shipping times, and we will do our best to expedite everything as best as humanly possible. No extra charges for US duties, shipping etc. We will only start taking remainder payments once everything has cleared customs and is stateside
                    2) Expedite your shipment via TNT. As soon as the dampers are ready next week, we will ship these out to you directly from TW via TNT. The Swift springs (if ordered) will ship to you via UPS Ground from our US facility. Shipping charge is $200, and you "may" need to pay TNT the 2.5% import duties (50/50 chance). We will require remainder payments within the next few days, otherwise your order will be added to the container shipment instead

                    Thanks!

                    P.S projectb10: As you are the only one outside of the US, we will need to arrange your shipment separately. Please PM me when ready.
