If you wanted red, you should have spoke sooner and started a poll to see what the "majority" would have wanted as you said.

It's too late now as adding a polling option will just add an unnecessary time frame to the group buy.

EXACTLY. The Purchase Order has already been submitted to Eibach and ball is rolling. My apologies to those that may have wanted red, but unfortunately it didn't even come up til sometime like last Friday. As others have stated, powdercoat is your friend. ;)

I'm super excited that we've gotten this far -- I can't wait to see a pallet (or two) show up at the shop full of springs. Eibach gave me the option on packaging - Either original Eibach-branded packaging or standard, nondescript packaging - I opted for the Eibach boxes - I envision taking a picture of my truck loaded down with a pallet piled high with Eibach boxes! LOL! I look forward to posting the "delivery day" pics. ;)

I have a brand new in the box set from the first run that I won off eBay.. never opened. After I get these I'm going to compare them to see if they are exactly like the originals

I got a 95, but I'm glad to see some support still provided for us "long-forgotten" GM cars. I'm starting to really see these cars get the attention they deserve.

I think Dante deserves one hell of a round of applause. This is the smoothest group buy this group has ever pulled off.

Kudos Dante!

Thanks, Geoff.

This has been a rather large undertaking - Behind the scenes there has been a lot of work to get this far. Between countless emails back and forth with Eibach and making sure that I record every payment along with addresses, etc, it's proving to be quite the task.

I think the biggest task is going to be shipping the kits out to each buyer. In an effort to lessen overwhelming the counter person at FedEx (or whomever the shipper winds up being), I may have to take only 5-10 kits each day to ship. LOL. We'll see - After I get the kits in and can get an accurate shipping quote, I'll know more about how many kits the shipper will want to accept each day.

I could probably send you a call tag for FedEx to save you on dealing with at least one lol, and save me some money over counter shipping costs.

Oh yeah

Well, we're almost 30 days into our 60 day timeframe... Eibach reports that everything is going smoothly.

I just got an email from Eibach confirming that our order production run had been completed and is ready for the bulk shipment to me!! I am assuming that it will probably take about a week to two weeks before I receive them, but be looking for updates in the coming days and weeks.
