    Before reputations get tarnished, this GB is legit and authorized, as someone who has spent 6 yrs working hard to help build the ADS brand, I don't want to hurt ADS with this drama. The issue comes down to a matter of a few part numbers that I worked with ADS to develop to cater to a market I was seeking.

    Feel confident that the vendor is allowed to offer any and all of ADS OEM specific shocks for the direct OEM applications. ADS are some of the best shocks out there, and hopefully the vendor running this will spend time developing their own spec shocks to offer for their customers needs.

    I hope everyone ends up happy with their intended purchase, and hope to see many more join the ADS family.

    Thanks

    Matthew

    I hope it's all worked out because ADS is a great company and make some kick ass products that are top notch. anyone who gets a set of these will not be disappointed. ADS shocks are the best shocks that I have ever ran. will only use ADS on any vehicle I buy or build.

    We are the vendor of this group buy and have worked with ADS directly on this group buy. The parts that are listed on the page, we are well within our rights to sell. Just because someone may feel that this can take business away from them and wants to air their opinion on open forum does not mean that anything is shady or underhanded. IF anyone would like to talk to me directly I am here to answer questions. If any one wants to contact ADS to see if this is above board please feel free to do so. ADS is the only one who can speak for ADS not MCM or myself.

    This group buy was put on after talking to ADS on how to better promote their products and too bring our companies together. This was not meant to be a dramafest in which false accusations are made against us by other companies with the sole purpose of the almighty dollar. Anyone who knows us and our company knows that this is not how we operate at all.

    As far as the remarks on pricing. We are not profiting much if anything from the sale of these products. With 3% credit card fees and exorbitant shipping costs we are giving almost everything back to the consumers that we can. Even our everyday prices are competitive and include shipping to the lower 48 States which not every company is willing to give so much back but we are doing what we can given the discounts that we get from the manufacturer.

    Again we are doing this to help promote ADS and to bring their products out to TacomaWorld but to be honest if this is what is going to happen anytime someone wants to buy ADS from someone other then MCM we may just not carry their line at all. We have seen MCM get into it with too many other people and it just isn't worth the bullshit. We are not hear to play games we are here to help the members of this forum and that is it.

    Now if you will excuse me, I am going to let this go and go back to trying to spend time with my family since I graduated highschool nearly 20 years ago and left this type of drama there.
