Yeah that's some shady ass business...seriously I find it kind of disturbing how they are treating us. I mean seriously, how can you promise someone something that you don't even have? I mean that is just ridiculous, they are treating us like crap. Any good business will have a good amount of stock before agreeing on doing a GB of any sort. If they don't have the product, they should notify you in advance! Instead, they told us AFTER we gave them our money. I know for sure I won't be recommending anything they sell to anyone in the future, let alone the ridiculous pricing they have on some of their parts compared to other places on the forum (like their door sills, you can get it cheaper by a lot from Zeta!!!). Anyways, does anyone else have a nasty feeling about this sway bar? I mean it looks all good on paper, but the way things are going doesn't make me too confident...

I am not too concerned about the product, if it comes and it is not as described then it goes back. But this is just like how Tunerworks treated me when I ordered those Tanabe springs. These places are supposed to thrive on repeat business and word of mouth, it is just bad business to take peoples money and not tell them it is going to take this long. We ordered these things a month in advance of that Autocross event, I figured 2 or 3 weeks tops and we could slap them in. Here we are in NOVEMBER and still waiting

I guess this is a lesson learned that from now on I will be ensuring payment is conditional on having stock on hand.

I did want to thank you guys again for sticking with me on this

i feel bad 4 u sugarphreak...you are the one out the cash right now...
i pretty much stoped giving much in the way for deposits based on passed expiences this year...next week seems to always mean at least 6 weeks...in many cases now i just pass on the deal and look elsewhere...if i can't find it, then oh well, just leave a name and number for them to call when they want to unload stock......

Good news guys, the sway bars have finally arrived at BE in Ontario today and they will be sending them Via UPS immediatly.

Maybe, just Maybe we might have the bars in hand by this weekend. However be assured as soon as they arrive I will be contacting each of your personally to setup a pick up time & location.

Also we can ask JDMish nicely if he wants to setup a group install over at Honda West for the weekend of Nov 24th? I don't know how well that date will work for you guys, but if it does then I could just bring the bars there instead.

Finally, please go check the November Fit meet thread if you havn't already. I propose we meet for lunch at Chinook, as the evening may be more difficult for other people. Plus it will give us a good opportunity to hammer out some of the details about the pick up and installation locations regarding the sway bars.

Thanks again, I know it has been a long wait. I have a feeling these bars are going to be worth it though!

Sincerly,

I am guessing it wasn't me, probably my evil car twin. I think I saw that car too when we went to hte meet. It has tinted windows right?

UPDATE! The tracking number shows we have a Calgary arrival at the terminal.

That did take a long time. Love the vendors for saying "next week".... just finished installing a sunroom (renovating really) last week which they promised it would be done before the end of summer or even August.... didn't realize November = August. Anyways, thanks for following up for us and tracking it through. Greatly appreciate it.
