me too, car should be back from the body shop early next week, and I will get them on as soon as I can. I am off next tues-wed, so hopefully I can get them done then, if not it will be on sunday.

ok, apparently there was a hiccup back during the initial testing phase, and now they've upgraded certain design and tested it on the G35/37 (I believe they said this G was on the Long Beach Spocom show couple weeks ago):

and I believe they're still looking for a 370z, let me know if anyone is still interested, contact me for the details.

Thanks!

they broke on mike's car, so he bought a different set since he needed them for racing.

t'is true, and they upgraded the fix and now works perfectly fine

Wow, I'm sorry for sounding a little harsh but I never can understand why any parts makers or companies intending to sell a new manufacturers products (ESPECIALLY a product as important as suspension parts) do not test things like this themselves, on their OWN cars (especially an unproven/ untested product) This is just ridiculous to me.
Its like saying, "Here, try this out and let me know if you live to see the next morning" :icon14:
That doesn't say a lot about how much a manufacturers trust their own products, or how much parts sellers care about their end customer.... :shakes head:

Sorry for the rant, this is just one of my pet peeves. :rolleyes:

We ALWAYS test EVERYTHING we sale to the public ourselves (on our own cars) on the track and on the street. We at RA have even turned away the right to sale a few (money making) products that do not meet our standards, and in turn we only sell products of manufacturers whom agree to our testing and their parts meeting our standards first.
We feel you should have to believe in what you do, and what you sell....


Again, sorry for the rant, just trying to keep it real and hoping other follow suit

I wouldn't mind testing stuff.

especially now that I will probably be a weekly visitor of the nurburgring starting next month :roflpuke2:

nah, nothing like that. shock mount weld failed while the tech drove it around the block after the install and before the alignment. No damage. Got tein monoflex instead. They have since sent me pics of the updgraded weld.

Glad to hear you feel "it was no big deal" that your newly installed coilover broke as soon as it was installed on your car :icon14:. Good news that nothing worse happened.... But any coilover failing, period, or ESPECIALLY just right after install and a quick trip around the block... :shakes head: whoa, are you kidding me?!!
There is just NO excuse good enough for things like that, that's crazy.

I am in no way a fan of any Tein products either, but at least you won't have to worry about them braking right away... :p
Mike, with the Tein monoflex the worst you will have to deal with is imbalanced and improper shock valving and inconsistent spring rates, LOL Hahah :bowrofl: Just messin' with ya (kinda)

As it should....

I meant no big deal as far as hurting the car. I did have to pay twice for install and corner balancing though :(

These sound like pieces of ****. I was reading on an Evo X forum where they were soliciting testers, and they claimed they are basically identical to Blitz ones. From your experience, I somehow doubt that... :ugh2:
