    I HAVE THEM!

    Great work guys, these are really worth waiting for. Beautifully made and probably the last pair of U/C Arms I will ever need to buy.
    Big thanks to Wizard and Black Beast(who are helping UAS to assemble these, ready for delivery)good on you guys.:zlove::zlove:

    [TIS]P.S. Remember to fit these with the Cotter Pin at the outer end(to avoid any chance of it fouling on the inner mounting bracket under full suspension dive).[TIS]

    Can the person who PM'd me regarding having paid their deposit but not appearing on the list please contact me ASAP?

    I have a set of arms for you, but must have canned your PM by mistake.

    Not ZXTA5Y -there was another one.

    Thanks!

    WE checked clearance both ways and does not seem to be an issue unless you car is really realllly tooo low and also probably need cut down bump stops. We did assemble them with the thicker spacers on the thinner side so they go on the inside. Meaning Nissan made the control arms 2mm thicker on the inner bracket being 112mmm and the outside 110mm.
    Also for everyone?s info these arms ended up costing UAS about 55% more than Fulcrums price, plus we had to assemble them all done by qualified tradesman, not cheap. If it went the other way around, meaning after everyone committed and paid the money, were told UAS decided to get made through another company and getting made OS to save money and a few slight changes, being no Cotter Pin, but now grub screw, No countersinking the main bodies which is extra machining and not Tig but Mig welded, No alloy spacers internal bearing spacers and external but using cheaper mild steel. and getting made OS to save UAS around 60% or more, no discount to the buyers. Then there would have been understandably unhappy campers.
    Anyone one wish to pay more though for a better product?? LOL

    BTW due to above, also the time spent on this project, the new price will be $595. Still good value for what it does and how it will make suspension work better. Cheap in the long run.

    I apologise for the delay and any frustration. Merry Christmas and enjoy.

    Thanks John,
    your commitment to delivering a high quality product and absorbing the additional costs is appreciated by all of us. Let's hope the product sells well domestically and overseas, so that you can recoup your costs.

    Merry Christmas!

    Yes being a Unique product and for a while at least, I won't have to compete with Ebay and manufacturers from up north. I am confident once they get out there in the market place they will be the no 1 choice. The only thing stopping someone buying these is either not aware of them, or maybe on cost, in the short term, as cost a bit more than the Fling Woo brands, which usually don't last, or bushes which flog out.

    Outstanding Payments Etc

    Hey guys, hope we are all having a safe and happy holiday period...

    There are quite a few people who have yet to contact UAS and make final payments on these. I know a few have contacted me with explanations etc and I appreciate the heads up.

    UAS are closed until Monday January 5th, so I think if we make the deadline for payments (or at least have the ball rolling ie supplied details to UAS etc) January 9th that should give everyone plenty of time to get organised. That is over one month since being advised they are ready to send.

    These will not be available at Group Buy price again due to significantly increased production costs since this all started. If payment is not received by the 9th your order will be sold and your deposit lost.
