^I know. I'm pretty mad about it too and I let them know. I don't want to be too mean though because it is still an amazing deal and if they can produce within 3 weeks like they think they can, it would still bring them pretty close to the original estimate of 1-1.5 months from the time we placed the order (june 8th).
Hopefully they will come through in a timely fashion.
Damn. That sucks, but things happen. I can be patient.

I am leaning towards letting them take care of the shipping.
Hey, at least you don't have stacks of boxes of springs laying around your place taking up space. If you did, it'd look like my house. Got a stack of shocks and wheels sitting in the dining room. Good thing my girlfriend is into cars otherwise I'd be in trouble.

Sorry about the wait guys.
To be honest I'm not too disappointed. I'd rather they take their time to produce a quality product, than just say "Eh it's good enough" and ship us a bunch of duds. Just goes to prove their attention to quality and detail is above and beyond what other makers out there have. Besides, this would be their first production run of these B14's, I'm sure the B13's had their 'problems' on their first run too. Just because the prototype came out fine, doesn't mean they'll be the same after you start mass-producing them.
Good thing I'm not in a rush. Just need them before mid July.

Well said - of course everyone would love them ASAP, but I'm happier knowing that we're getting a quality product.

LOL! I've got half a garage full of parts for the B14 build project. My wife has already threatened to start selling stuff if I don't quit buying "crap"
tell her you dont get on her case when she buys her "crap" !!!
me, i did the next best thing, hide everything my upper garage compartment. these springs are gonna make things up there kinda tight ***, its actually a good thing they're getting pushed back lol. Rob, dont worry bout that PM i sent u earlier. I'll just man up and take the hit.

Nah, I know she just messes around. I have stuff to buy for a house now, so I stopped buying things for the car. I think it's going to take me more than a few weeks to put everything together anyway.
Round 1 springs finally on my car, thing is aligned, springs totally rock. Car has a badass stance now and handles quite well.
I have them on AGX struts with Koni bumpstops cut to 40mm, with eBay FSTB, Active Tuning RSTB and I added a Whiteline rear sway to the mix. Stiff and bumpy on Montreal streets but not bad, and definitely not bouncy like them slammed civics rollin on ebay springs...
...highspeed lane changes are solid. Havent cornered hard yet because my battery tray in the trunk isnt welded on yet (bungee cords FTW!...not).
And havent driven in a few days *** I spruing a coolant leak in the no-mans-land of my intake mani to head connection,,,but thats another story, jack.
BIG UP AND THANKS TO ROB FOR SETTING UP THESE GB - AND especially for flowing me a 5th spring when one of mine mysteriously vanished in customs. BUY THE SPRINGS YOU WILL BE HAPPY.
- D
PS And I'd agree that the 1.25 front drop for round 2 is a good idea...but still am happy with the drop I have now. I havent bottomed the fronts out yet on any of the awful bumps we have all over (and its BAD here - if you havent driven here yet, you just dont know!)

I understand what you are saying dude, I live in quebec, the roads are terrible !!
Let me know how you like cornering manuvers once you have a chance.
Just to let everyone know, I will be on vacation untill thursday.
I can kind of answer PMs on my crappy cellphone, and my contact info is on the first post if anyone has any pressing concerns.
Other than that, I will post up first thing when I get back to update everyone.
Also I do have sets available still for both B13 and B14, so jump on this while you have the chance guys!

Enjoy the vacation Rob. I need one BAD myself. Getting to the cracking point at work. And I won't get to go on vacation until September.
yes enjoy your time off, you have done alot and things are out of your hands... I too will be needing a vacation soon... I am sort of forced to use up my vacation time in a few weeks due to remodeling the whole facility, but that's OK, it's during the WHOLE TIME SUMMERFEST IS GOING ON If you know what that is.... :P
Updates:
B13 springs are back from powdercoating and shotpeening, and are being boxed up and prepped for shipping over the next couple days! The wait is finally over.
B14: I was told that ETA till they are back in Bmore and we can get them ready to ship is about 2 weeks. They are on their way to the place that shotpeens and powdercoats them.
