Final call on california custom springs GROUP BUY

[Magnum PI]

Thanks Wes. My blues have about 25k on them. but really are firm. something to think about.

shipping to hawaii is never fun. I think USPS has the cheapest rates. Its expensive to live out here but somebody has to do it. Thanks again. Newton

Can I still get a set of these springs or am I too late now ? My rear OEM shocks are dead, car feels really floaty and has almost zero rebound left in them. I would like to repleace my shocks and put springs on at the same time. I don't wanna be doing the job twice and I hate the multilink design when its time to do work on it. I am also thinking of getting Stillen camber arms for the front, seems like my left front is got play in it.

Dont get the stillen ones, get the midori style from SPL, the ones for the 300ZX (Z32) work. Get the tension rods too...

I can probably do another group buy, for around $250 shipped.....

Man, how soon can you do it? I'd be willing to pay $300 for them at this point!

[BlackBirdVQ]

Whoa, lets keep the price as low as possible :P

[elwesso]

[Bwana]

'Just lettin' you know Wes, mine arrived in good shape on Thurs. I haven't had time to install them yet, but they look great! Thanks again!

[elwesso]

EXCELLENT! Let me know how you guys like em!

[Q45CALIBER]

AAHHhhh!!!! I just had mine installed on Saturday. I really had to get acustom to the ride it is much different from the factory springs and Tokico Blues....BUT>>>>>>>>>>The idot mechanic I used decided to use a wrench on the shaft of my shocks. I drove home and was showing off to my buddies. and presto two big puddles under my car. Well the puddles were gas leaking from the rear struts.

It seems that the mechanic fail to read the red sticker on the shock that says not to put anything on the strut shaft thus voiding my warrenty. (Can you say small claims court)

I just came out of 550 (truck spoiler will have to wait) for replacement blues. Now I really got the blues. I need to next day the order because my car is a every day car and I can drive past 20 with out it bouncing out of control.

I did not even know untill I was doing my thing on highway and my rear end was bouncing so much I almost lost control of the car.....

Anyway the car does look good.

For the short while they worked, how did you like them?

[Q45CALIBER]

As for the handling... Wes I was in heaven!!!!!!!! Minimal body roll; Braking is extremly better; I can manuver like never before.

I recommend the springs to anyone that whats to improve handling on the G50.

[banshee08]

Wes,

I was thinking of getting the original strut and spring mount for my Q since the strutmaster mounts are starting to make nosies. I was wondering if I can use these springs instead with a new set infiniti mounts?

[elwesso]

i make no guarntees that these springs will work with the strutmasters setup as i have no idea how that setup compares to OEM shocks...

[banshee08]

Wes,

I was actually going to purchase the OEM Mounts and new Tokico Blues (Strutmasters use Tokico Blues) along with the California Custom Springs to redo my conversion. Will I have to mod the OEM Mounts to make the springs fit?

[BlackBirdVQ]

Well I'm out of the GD (Wes if you had me on a list or something take me off) I picked up a set of springs on Ebay that someone was selling, Cal Customs- brand new in the Box for a really low price, I should have them on Monday.

Argh...I think this just happened to my Q as well. GF just got tokico blue with cali customs installed on the car at a shop recommended by a person on this forum. Then this morning, while driving in SF, she heard a "pop" and now the front tire is scraping the inside of the wheel well. She just got the car back from the mechanic last Sunday. Any chance the mechanic will foot the bill or will I have to pay for new parts. Sigh, the car isn't even drivable right now. Hope it's not the spring b/c it'll probably be damn near impossible to get another set of those cali customs.

Hey I made a call about that. Apparently the Spring perch broke, Manufacturing defect apparently.

Sorry to hear about it.

[litlchi]

Sigh,

Hey I made a call about that. Apparently the Spring perch broke, Manufacturing defect apparently.

Yeah, that's what I heard last night. Sigh. Will post the pics when I get them. Does anybody have the phone number to contact Tokico about their warranty? The contact part of the website is a broken link and I can't seem to find any other phone number to call them at.

[elwesso]

im pretty sure you have to get a dealer to get you one... Where did you buy the struts?

[litlchi]

I got them from ebay store: http://cgi.ebay.com/TOKICO-HP-...wItemThe auto shop owner said I should probably try to contact Tokico first b/c last time there they had a defective Koni strut. Koni paid for both a new strut and tow, whereas most dealers will only pay for new strut. I'll probably end up contacting both the seller and Tokico and get them to pay for my tow. They had to end up flatbedding the car to the shop.
