Would like to know if the is a set date for this to end. If so, when is it? I just got my taxes done today and expecting a good return by the middle of the month. Hopefully this will be going on through the end of the month and I'm not SOL. Can one of the wonderful Stillen guys let us know?

March 15th is the official end to the group buy.. Send me an email if the timing is close by a day or two, with advanced notice we'll work on holding that price for you, but all orders after that will have to be at the normal price (which is still extremely competitive to anyone out there).

We were able to secure this pricing because of a buy-in with Eibach, and you guys did your part in sucking up those kits, so going beyond the 15th won't be possible.

Would be smart to extend to something like the 17th, because the 15th is such a big pay day right?

Hmmm. So if I order on the 14th, I should be good and secure the price? It's based on order date, right?

Blake, you're probably right.. all we need is some communication. Email [email protected] with your intent, or add a note when you place the order, and Margaret will work with whoever on the timeline (within reason!).

We want all to take part in this who are ready, we're not going to let a couple of days based upon $$ availability be the factor, but we do need to wrap this up.

Just communicate with us, and you'll get this smokin' deal.

if you pre-order, they'll let you have the group buy price, just call and ask anyone there. Appearantly you haven't been reading the thread

I'll check on it first thing on Monday, every order we had has been shipped, perhaps the tracking number didn't make it to you.

And if you're part of NICO, I'll make sure you got the GB price..

You cannot control the drop with the Eibach Prokit. The springs are built to adjust the car to a specified height. Again the drop is 1.5" front, 1" rear.

this type of specific drop is attanable with coilover kits, not springs!

You mean the one leaving today? The remainder of the 3.5L Coupe springs arrived today.

I'll make sure you get emailed the tracking number when we have it. Let me know if you had any other questions.

anyone have pics of springs mounted on a Sedan?

No rubbing in the rear whatsoever. We'll see after I have 3 passengers and the springs have settled.

what's the specs on your wheels? It seems strange that some folks' sedans are rubbing and others aren't. On a 8.5" wide, +35 offset, 20" wheels with 245 tires, individuals have reported some rubbing WITHOUT a drop on their 2.5 sedans. If indeed you have the same setup, I'm curious to know what's different about your setup that has prevented rubbing when hitting bumps and driveways AFTER a .8" drop in the rear!

I have a 3.5 sedan nitto invo tires 245/35/20, 8.5 wide, 35mm offset.It is what it is. The suspension on 3.5 is probablly only real difference. I don't have a 2.5 Sedan. I'm glad theres no rubbing.

i do believe i read somewhere that the suspension was different between the 2.5 and 3.5 vehicles.. that would explain you not rubbing, but i don't think that will be the case for the 2.5 sedans with a drop with a similar wheel/tire setup!

Yeah, the 3.5 SE has a "sport" suspension. I remember when test driving the two different models, I noticed a big difference in the stiffness of the 3.5 as opposed to the 2.5. I'm assuming the softer 2.5 suspension compresses and articulates more than that of the 3.5.
