    We have not been using 300zxrb26dett as an excuse; he is the official tester of the prototype samples, and until testing is complete, we simply cannot put the production batch into production.

    The good news though, however, is that testing has just been completely by 300zxrb26dett, and we are now ready to start production. They have already been scheduled in with our current development batch, which we are hoping to be ready sometime in July

      Did the originally agreed upon spring rates of 5k/4k test out well?

      If we wanted to change spring rates in the future, should the dampers be capable of handling a moderate change such as +/- 1K?

        Yes, the spring rates were good

        No problem changing +/- 1K in future

          I will get a review up as soon as I get the production parts in my hands.

          The dampers really should be re-valved if you select different springs. One-size fits all won't be ideal.

            1. What length springs are being used in front?
            2. What would the extra cost be to get my set valved for & delivered with 6K springs up front?

              8" Front Spring.

              You don't need to re-valve to change up 1K

                When do you consider a re-valve necessary?

                I feel like the current spring/ damper valving is good, but it seems like its on the edge, and changing the spring even 1K would upset it.

                  Anything +/- 2K

                  With the Swift's, you can run +/- 1K without too much adverse affect due to the design of the springs

                    That's not how that works, sir.

                    But most shocks assuming the initial valving is good won't result in a ruined experience with a small spring rate change.

                      Ok so what's the update with this. "Sometime in July" doesn't exactly help. Do you have a more predictable eta? I'm tired of driving my car on blown suspension. And this is taking way longer than expected. Half of the summer is gone by the time these get here. I would like to enjoy my suspension. Cmon
                      There hasn't been no real eta updates . And still first post hasn't been updated to reflect everyone that's put in a deposit. What's going on ???
                      I'm starting to feel like we were put on backburner for other applications

                        The production sets are currently under production; we have not given priority to other fitments. They are being made in the same batch, which is currently scheduled for end of July shipping time.

                        Not everyone who sent a deposit included their forum username, but we have received deposits from:

                          You gotta give a better eta then that I put in my deposit based on the fact that this would be done in a timely manner and not just oh sometime here or by the end of then . I'm missing events I can't setup my car and I'm sure others feel this way as well. Setting everybody back with no real timeline updates is annoying . This ain't no chump change we deposited. I'm just highly annoyed that this is taking so long and all we get is sometime . Like c'mon if I knew it was gonna be like this I woulda took the money and had godspeed or ksports in a weeks times. Get it together .

                            Actually, I'm just fine waiting for a quality product. R&D takes time and you should have considered this prior to your build and race season. A $450 deposit is chump change when you think about what you're getting.
                            I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

                              This is the first group buy I've ever participated in. I had no prior expectations.

                              We are getting a new to market product so additional R&D time is fine by me. Not to mention we are getting this at a significant discount compared to what they have estimated retail to be.

                              Looking forward to the finished product!
