    Micah,

    I am told that you guys have had quite an experience with this group buy, so I wanted to confirm that your bars are currently being powdercoated and should ship out no later than tomorrow.

    I assume that you are the main contact for the group (you are the only contact that I have), if you could spread the word that the bars are actually produced and processing in shipping I would appreciate it (and I’m sure the others would love to hear that news!)

    You can also share my contact information below with anyone who would like to confirm their order and/or receive tracking information once I have it, which should be tomorrow at the latest. It might be a good idea for everyone to contact the plant here in NC if possible to confirm that we have their information in our system.

    Please let me know if I can be any further help.

    Thank you,

    Is it wrong for me to be laughing so hard at that email.

    Yeah, I think she picked the short straw.

    I sent he another email asking to make sure that the correct hardware went out. She sent me a list:
    2 – 1.125” midsection bushings
    2 – 1.125” midsection bracket with bolt hole CTC at 2.25”
    4 – 3/8” USS flat washers
    2 – endlinks with 3/8” x 8” bolt and 2.875” length spacer tube (as well as bushings, washers, and locknuts)

    I told her that there were already some concerns about flat washers rather than the cupped ones.

    Mine has shipped already. So, we will see ....

    I just talked to her, and just so everyone is aware, this is the front bar only that is being shipped out.

    Dave,
    I got an email from her about this. It must have been after you spoke with her.

    Did you order one of the adjustable rears that were part of this group effort? If so, you should have received it a year ago.

    I don't think the standard rear bar was ever part of this package. For those of you who are looking for a standard rear, she wants you to contact the plant directly to order it.

    Also, she mention that we will be getting the cupped washers.

    This is also what Samantha just sent me because i never received the hardware for the rear sway bar.

    When we shipped the second set of rear bars, we (at the plant) were told that you guys would be re-using the hardware from the first (incorrect) bar.
    So, we shipped bar only and until I started talking directly to you guys, I did not know that I needed to send you hardware for the rear bars.
    The front bars are shipping with hardware, but does everyone that is getting a front bar also need the hardware for the rear bar? Please contact us in NC if that is the case.
    Also, I have one gentleman who did not receive the corrected rear bar at all, if anyone else has the same problem please let us know.
    Basically, unless you have spoken directly to me, you are only getting the front bar with hardware at this point. So if you need anything else, call or email me in NC.

    Well, I guess I am her conduit:

    Micah,

    I hate to use you as a go between, but there is an issue with the one of the orders and I haven’t yet heard from him to have contact information.

    Can you post on the forum for Lance Keck to contact me at Samantha@addco.net? Thank you so much!

    Thank you,
    Samantha Greene

    I ordered the two, with the first order, they shipped them by mail, which cost am an additional $80 for taxes & brokerage, so when the second set showed up, I waited until someone tried them, before I had to pay even more, since they shipped them UPS the second time, I refused the delivery, and they were sent back. After numerous emails and phone conversations with "John" I was assured that once the corrected front bar was ready, they would ship me the corrected rear bar...which was total news to Samantha...I talked to her today, and she hopefully got it all right, and she is shipping mine to Michigan to my importer.

    Mine showed up today. Hardware with cupped washers. I have not compared it to the other bars yet.
