...so CM is based in So. Florida. Does this mean the suspension components will be shipped to those who offer their cars for testings, thus relying on local 3rd party shops to install the components; or is CM expecting the participants to get their cars to them, at the expense of those volunteering to offer their cars for testing?

one car is being used for testing for the coilovers. after the R&D is done, they will produce 5 sets of these for the 5 people on the list and from my assumption they will then be on a made to order basis.

once they ship the coils, its up to the owner to either take it somewhere to be installed or do the work themselves.

Have they called any of the guys on the list lately for the deposit? I got a call from them to let them know what I want, but couldn't put the deposit down, because I was in the middle of driving. The said they would call me yesterday, but haven't heard from them.

I pmed them twice, but haven't heard anything. I want to put the deposit in to get it done sooner.

IXI187IXI,
Thanks for the explanation. I sent the question before reading thru the entire thread. Like Nardeezy, I am cautiously optimistic about the prospect of having a "tested" suspension solution specifically made for the AWD GS. Like Nardeezy said earlier in the thread, other companies flirted with mfg springs, but per my memory, because they are based on the west coast, they could never find AWD GS owners willing to offer their cars for testing. I knew there had to be at least one east coast company w/the ability to make springs or coil-overs for high concentration of AWD GS owners on the east side. If the CMS-BC coil-over solution becomes a reality & proven (no adverse side effects or problems) solution, I'm pretty sure I will pursue the product; especially since there still is no official springs-only solution available for AWD GS w/o negative side effects (amplifying rough idle vibration, uneven lowering, etc...) reported by those who have swapped out springs.

he called me on monday and i gave him my information. if he said he will call back, he probably will. it took him a few days to get back to me but i assume he is busy like everyone else. you can always pm your info to him too if you like.

Sorry guys, been really busy lately and I usually can't get to the phone during the day, I usually catch up in the evening.

Best thing to do is leave a message

I did just get ahold of Dennis (Tungo) for his deposit so were good on that.

I just need to get a message/number for GS350on22s and B.Diddy and were golden.

Evel- They will be fully tested by BC on the donor car before production begins. I expect these to be problem free and you all should be very happy

Speaking of,

My neighbor just sent me an email and the car has been picked up at about 9pm eastern time. So... it's on the way. If you cannot get a hold of B.Diddy and gs350on22s I will cover their deposits if needed. Just let me know. Thanks again for everything.
