LOL yea sorry about that I was going to take more pictures of the shocks and springs but I didn't want to unwrap them until they were getting installed. I wasn't there when they put them in so I didn't get any good pics.

I'll actually take pictures of the parts this time.

I hope that I'm wrong, but if it wasn't brought to their attention, I'm guessing that it's unlikely that they will be curved. Please understand, this is in no way meant to be a put down to G.C.; just my random observation. I hope that they are a curved truss design.
From what I know they are curved...if I get them and they're not curved they will be going back for that revision.

Great to hear Justin. Thank you. As I said; hope I'm wrong!

I asked, camber arms are curved. They're well aware of the body seam, sway bar clearance issues.

That's good to hear. I'm trying to understand this; If we use the G.C. full setup, do we eliminate the rear K-Mac's Or use both? I'm sure G.C. could tell me this, but I don't want to rock their boat right now.
I'll wait until they have everything complete on their website.

I'll be keeping my Kmacs. I don't see any reason to go back to stock bushings, except the creaking. Every adjustable camber arm I've had on the rear has had more than enough adjustment.

My guess is no, considering they are not yet even available on the website...

Installation was a breeze, I haven't drove it yet on the track. We still need to align it and do some basic maintenance things first (rotors, pads ect). I'm sorry this isn't coming along as soon as was expected. Unfortunately this is not the only car we campaign, we are devoting as much time to this car as we can. I know it sucks but in large nothing happens within the automotive industry at a speedy pace. I don't know what is taking GC so long to release this product but rest assured I am just as frustrated with the timeline as you are.

I'm glad you posted Justin. As for me, I'm still waiting for some reason. I really don't want to call G/C again and be told it's shipping when it isn't. So, it's ready when it's ready and that's that.

As I've said before, it worth the wait. Sucks that its completed and not shipping yet. Those that are hanging in there will be rewarded with some really good handling/ride characteristics. If yall want to come to Austin I would take you all for a ride.

I got an E-mail today from Donovan @ GC. He says he will be activating their website page on Monday for the Crossfire kits. He didn't say which Monday, but I assume he meant 3 days from now.

LOL That's what got me in. I was in the market for something like this and thought it was available. Clearly Hustler is living up to his handle, and I bowed out when he/ they just started flat out lying and tossing in Ad-hominem attacks on my character when i deigned to ask a few questions from them. I do hope they are on the Up and Up, but actual REAL information seems as hard to find now as when i asked about it 2 months ago.

He's not the guy selling them. If he were, I with you...lol. It will happen. Waiting on outside vendors can be a ***** sometimes.
