We've been able to make a large amount of progress on the backlog and are moving back to our normal two-week lead time on backordered bushings. I was hoping to have kits in stock early this week, but it looks like it might be around the weekend the sale ends or early the week after. Let me know if you have any questions. Sale ends December 20th at 11:59 PM CT!
First, thank you to everyone for your support during our year end sale. Sales have far and away exceeded any of my expectations.
Because of the high volume and the arrival of the new machine in a little over a week, I'm going to need to adjust the shipping time for all orders placed after Dec. 4 (tomorrow as of this post). If you place an order after 12/4, the estimated backorder shipping time will be 3-4 weeks instead of the normal 2-weeks or less.
I'll be doing everything in my power to still adhere to the 2-week turn around time, but until the backlog of orders is lower or the new machine is up and running, we're just out of capacity in the shop.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks again to everyone for the stellar amount of support. It means the world to me.
Our Black Friday sale is here and it's running for a whole month! It is a little different this year. My hope is that this post will help everyone understand the discounts and pricing. For those that just want the bottom line:
Now for the reason it's a little different this year. Our prices have remained the same since opening in 2015. In that time, I have been able to find ways of keeping the costs consistent (more efficient machining programs, machine upgrades, bulk material discounts as sales have increased, etc.). Unfortunately, these options have been exhausted. Between the lack of cost control options, increased material costs, and increased shipping costs, our prices need to increase and they are increasing prior to the Black Friday sale. I know this sounds bad, but read on.
To counteract the price increase and give everyone time to buy what they want at the old prices before they become permanent, the Black Friday discount in 2020 will be increased to offer better prices than we did in 2019. In 2019, we had a 12% discount. This year we are running 20% off on our products. Doing so means that the price you pay during the Black Friday sale is lower than what you would have paid last year, even at the higher MSRP. Hopefully this alleviates some of the pain of the price increase and gives everyone plenty of warning before the price increases are permanent. The new MSRP of each product is listed on the product description as the "compare to" price. On Dec. 21, 2020, the prices will change to these compare to prices permanently.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out through the contact us form. Thanks for all of your support over the years. I am really looking forward to all the growth we have planned for 2021.
We've launched our bushing kits for the C7 Corvette, both in Standard Delrin and Premium Delrin AF100 Blend. They are in stock and ready to ship now.
To celebrate, we are running a 7% off sale when you enter "C7DELRIN" at checkout. The discount applies to everything on the site, not just C7 kits. The sale runs through July 15th at 11:59 PM CT. Many of our non-C7 kits are also in stock and ready to ship thanks to a large production push at the end of the second quarter.
There are no plans for an offset kit for the C7 however, the front upper control arm position is identical on the C5, C6, and C7 frames, both steel and aluminum, so if you really need the extra camber, you can purchase those from the Individual Bushings section of the website.
Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks for the ongoing support!
Based on extremely low sales, I will be discontinuing the offset kit for aluminum frame C6's. This product will remain available on the site for the remainder of May. For anyone thinking about purchasing an offset kit for their C6 Z06 or ZR1, please do so by May 31, 2020. The Individual Bushing product for the offset Rear Upper Control Arms for the C6Z will also be discontinued on the same schedule. This change does not affect the Standard or Premium kits.
In the event you need more camber/caster on an aluminum-framed car after May, you can make your own partially offset kit in the Individual Bushings section of the site. Lower control arm bushings are the same for aluminum frame and steel framed cars (between the C5 and C6) and the offset bushing version of these positions will still be produced. This won't create as much of an increase in camber as the full offset kit, but this combination should provide more than enough to cover 99%+ of your alignment needs.
