I guess I could call Andy tomorrow and find out who we should talk to at Hotchkis to get the damn ball rolling faster. I'm going to have a real hard time being polite to them though.

I just want my fuggin bars, is that so hard for them to do?

 

I know what you mean bro, I have to wait even longer because once Andy gets the bars I have to get Aramex to pass by his place as well as Berks to pick up the ARBs and HFC and then they'll still have to ship them all the way over here....

If you get any updates San~man please let us know so we don't keep on calling Andy like 500 times a day lol

 

So..a couple days have passed...any news on the shipment?

 

Jeff,

I called Andy yesterday and spoke with him concerning the bars. The bars are in stock, but Hotchkis evidently ran out of bushings. Hotchkis doesn't make their own bushings (either Energy or Prothane), so its both a supplier and retailer issue. Andy's been in contact with his Hotchkis person every day, and they've told him "any minute now," so it's just a waiting game.

I doubt anyone has these in stock, so I'm just going to wait it out.

San

 

That's just dumb. If another company makes the bushings, Hotchkis needs to re-order in advance when inventory drops below a certain point.

 

They should ship out today (just got an update). Let's cross our fingers.

 

Also waiting...

I placed an order on Jan 28 and still have not received anything!!
Per Andy's last email, 2 days ago, still waiting.

I have to say, aside from the waiting I think the communication is VERY poor. I only get updates when I email. I wasn't even told the bushings were missing until I asked for an update email after being assured the bars would be shipped in a week.
Horrible customer service. Ill probably wont order anything in the future from these guys nor recommend them.

 

Bushings have indeed arrived, good news. Bars should go out w/in a day or so.

 

^^ that's good news guys, you guys are going to love these sway bars...i feel bad for you guys that you had to wait, but once you get these bars you'll forget about all that and have a huge grin, while you're shredding the pavement...and after all, you will still have the first production sets ...so big ups to travis and andy for making this happen

 

I'm with ya, thanks travis and andy!

 

sway bars really do make the suspension. cant wait to pick a set up! those that get them, post your thoughts on the upgrade, pros and cons.

 

Pros: eliminated a lot of the body roll and firmed up the ride a little. Con: can't find any yet. Overall, I love em!

 

Con: doesn't fit the x, we think hahaha.

 

FYI... To anyone still interested, the group buy for the BERK HFC's will be closing this weekend, so if you want a deal on a great set of HFC's then you better act fast.

Just send me or Andy a PM if your interested.

 

I've been told that front bar should be the same, but there's no way to be certain until someone tries it. I'm still willing to ship my stock bars to someone with an X, so they can match them up to their stock bars and see if they would work. Any takers?
