So Proud Of Us.

I got the first finished good MP kit today, cracked it opened and checked it out. I am really impressed with the outcome. I almost can't believe we pulled off a private label product. You guys, this was much more than a retarded old group buy. We really did something here. Tein has never done a private label for an all-new product in the US before.

This added to the effectiveness of the kit! I have the 5kg in my car right now, and while I think it is a little more firm than my 30 year old body prefers (this is coming from an Odyssey mid you) the kit handles amazingly. I recently came into a situation where I get to drive my crx every day, and I took this left hander so hard...the front grips so good that the rear starts to rotate a little. Not oversteer...but balance. I can feel the rear outer suspension compress and the car hooks around the corner. All this with no lsd or rear sway bar!!!

Those of you waiting for kits....4 have shipped. 3 are being revalved, and the rest are waiting for shipping money or balance payment. There is one kit currently unspoken for.


Anyway, thanks go to Tom for letting me organize this on RPR. Thanks to RPR members for making it happen. Thanks to Tein for being as cooperative as a Japanese company can be. And, well, thanks to me for managing this whole thing.
