Maybe next week...
I spoke to GC on Thursday. I was told they were in the process of writing the install instructions and beginning to put some kits together. They made me no guarantee but said, "maybe next week".

I'll post again after talking to them sometime next week.

Crossin my fingers!

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

OK, Boy's it is imminent, kit's will begin to ship soon. In fact my kit is probably shipping today. First they had Dreamin, then wildwhl to beta test the functionality, now they are using me to beta test their kitting, instructions etc... then the pipeline will open. My car will be on jack stands, cradle loose, front shocks etc off when UPS arrives. So no hold up here.

I have just sent the owner the links to become a supporting vendor so no worries on that issue. Keep ur eyes peeled.

I have one thing to say to Dreamin and wildwhl for all the great effort!



I didn't say how many times I was going to say it now did I!

Thanks,
rgd

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

No need to loosen the cradle...just pop the sway bar endlinks and lower, shock bolts, and lower control arm bolts and you're in.

Front you'll need to pull the top control arm assembly to swap a bushing around in there...

Good luck!

What will the order protocol be? Is this a group buy or do we watch for the green flag and hit the phones?

Thanks!

I don't know just yet. I sent the links for them to join the forum today, and he (Jay) said he would have one of his guys figure it all out in a day or two. They are definitely about ready to go full speed ahead. The first production kit did ship today!

I will be talking to them on Thursday morning, if there isn't a post from them yet I will ask and report the protocol.

Thanks,

rgd

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

Spring compressor? I live dangerously, I use a forklift

Yes, the factory springs will need to be compressed or use of some other american ingenuity to remove from the assembly. The GC springs don't have this issue as they are shorter and you don't need to preload them while assembly takes place.

I am making one tweak to the kit today

Re: Ground Control (Group Purchace List) Very close!

All v owners seem whiny, but it is really only the rear of the car.
I still want the gain in performance and looks from that drop, is the price still under $600 for the kit??????
