    My problem is delays right now. How does it take 5 weeks to make a pair of coilovers, or a few weeks to make fliberglass fenders. :mad:

    call jeff at deaver and ask him..he may give them more arch or add a leaf or two... but for that price plus the 100-200 to rearch or add you would have a nice custom pack. I paid 850 for my custom pack new fyi

    i want your money:)..shoot me a pm..even if you dont get the work done with me i could get you a ballpark estimate

    Fiberglass all seems to be hit or miss, either you get it right away or it takes forever.

    Never heard of anyone having problems getting a C/O':notsure:

    I guess, but I've never heard when King was quick. If your company is busy all the time, wouldn't you hire a few more employees to get the job done in a more timely manner. I'm probably way off, but sitting here after waiting for 4 weeks I'm getting super antsy.

    having a shop at yo-ur house will be so sweet instead of a little garage!

    yeah i agree but then i look at it their way, if they hire more people. they might run out of work haha. better to have work than have none.. maybe its just cause its after tax time too so everyone is buying shocks

    :drool:

    I've posted about it in a lot of threads, but basically they sent me broken shit, Fedex refunded the money back to them, and they never admitted to receiving the refund. I got stuck with broken fenders and they got paid twice for shitty products and customer service.

    Fuck Fiberwerx.
