But I though you are the god of suspension?

I'm thinking 14" 200lb/in front, 14" 125lb/in rear with no helper springs.
My goal is lots of travel but softer... will go through some crazy camber changes though, and probably some significant bump steer... not sure if it will be worth it? Anyone?

Money sent for two inserts.

Did you get the wrecked parts yet?

Apparently if it's not there by 5pm today (your time) I get my money back.

Can you order the inserts with the info I've given you or do you need more?
My biggets concern is I get everything else sorted and end up waiting on those Bilstien boys in San-Diego...

Did you get the broken stuff yet, or should I be asking for my money back?

According to the tracking info the broken parts were delivered.
Can you verify?

Did you have chance to look at them yet?

Will the strut tube clean up and be re-useable?

What is the ETA on inserts?

When is the cut of date to add a strut tube to the christmas production run?

Thanks...Martin.

I'm guessing John might not have power and/or phone right now, given the mess in the Pacific northwest.

I wondered why I hadn't seen him post in a couple of days. I had no idea there was a mess in PNW! With kids and a bent rally car I have no time to watch TV, so rarely know what is going on :-)

-Martin.

With multiple jobs, three cages in construction, a Pathfinder being decked out for an around the world trip, and finals last week in grad school I still don't. Maybe I'll go check the weather channel. No, I think I'll go profile some more tubes and maybe take a few pics of current progress to post.

Holy shit. Just finally looked at what's been going on outside of my garage. Nearly a hurricane in the PNW. Insane. Hope everythings okay.

Grant Hughes

I did the same thing. Still 200+ thousand homes without power! I guess I need to give John a break :-) Hopefully his family and homestead are OK.

-Martin.

C'mon guys,

The weather's just an excuse to not have to warranty that strut..

JK,it was pretty crappy in the NW the last several days. Many people have been bonding with their generators and chainsaws lately..

You fix the rear subframe yet? Just saw your pics. I have a rear subrame with six bolt axles (everything but the dif) you can have for $75 plus shipping.

I can also pull a front control arm and hub when we get our next container load in if that helps, should be in 2 weeks. Email me if you want it!

Thanks for the offer. The rear subframe was bent bad so I've replaced it. I could use a rust free one to strengthen up, but the shipping from Georgia to Canada would be insane.
