The definitive Suspension thread.

**Steve Webb** · 30-03-08, 23:31

Thanks for posting up those links Chris.

Just to let everyone know, I'm still trying to get the full answers to everyones questions from D2. Hopefully everything should be ready to go in the coming week.

So to make sure no one is left out I will contact all the interested parties asking for their final decisions. I will then send bank details so we can get the order rolling.
If you are interested, but haven't added your name to this thread somewhere, i suggest you do it sooner rather than later.

Thanks for you patience on this one.

Steve

Steve, it's a street version for me!

I'm waiting for final price and i'll pay by bank transfer or paypal!

Many thanks

Just found out that the delay in getting a reply from D2, is down to the fact that all the techie guys were out racing last week. They are back in the office now so I should get the final answers soon.

Oh and the time difference isn't helping things.

Thanks for keeping us close to this, Steve.

Regards,
Chris.

I think I have had all the answers from D2, so for everyones info, the final price will be ?595 for the street kit and ?775 for the Rally asphalt kit.

These prices include shipping and duty to import into the EU. Shipping onwards to all of you will be extra, but it should not be all that much. Does anyone have any contacts with DHL/Fedex etc?

There may be a tiny amount of change in these prices, as the final shipping cost from Taiwan -> France will depend on just how many kits are ordered.

Once everyone has decided which kit they want, and I have an invoice back from D2 we will have the exact price. Doing my calculations I have erred on the expensive side, so hopefully the exact cost will be a little less than those quoted above.

No problem for me, thank you for all the effort so far

I really appreciate it.

Sorry, have no connections here.

I'm still hoping to get the car and if I do, I'll still want the rally-asphalt for it.

Regarding the TUV certificate, that's for the ISO 2001 mafacturing process. ISO2001 has nothing to do with road approval but is all about process-description in innovation and production, it's useless if you need TUV approval for aftermarket products on your car. Sorry to dissapoint you guys, but you really need type-specific TUV approval for these. Since it's an new kit, it needs to be homolagated for the 155, every model separately.

**WhizzMan** · 01-04-08, 19:32

Urgh.. disregard this post, my previous one seemed to have dissapeared, now it's back.

**mindus** · 02-04-08, 07:38

I confirm a Street kit order for me (with adjustable top mount).
Wait for the payment details.
Thanx for the great efforts.

Steve, you can put me down for the rally asphalt kit with the adjustable top mounts.
I'll wait for further instructions for payment.

Marc

**q4fatboy** · 03-04-08, 10:36

Green light! Me too! Rally Asphalt.

**jimnielsen** · 05-04-08, 02:03

Steve... the rally asphalt kit has adjustable top mounts does it not? Its not an optional extra on this version, correct?

**Brul(tm)** · 09-04-08, 17:32

Steve,

Do you have an idea when the order will be given to D2?
My geuss is that everybody who's interested has given his reaction.
Can you let us know what the plan is?

Greetings,
Marc

**Steve Webb** · 09-04-08, 20:51

Hi Marc,

I was just waiting until the end of this week, then locking down this thread, and passing the order onto D2 at the start of next week.

That's great news Steve

Just wondering what the plan was

If possible, can you give a rough planning from D2?

Marc

They will answer you, maybe not the same day but in 2 or 3 days. I've also asked them about the 8 POT 330mm FRONT kit (http://www.d2racingsport.com/brake_330.htm) and the price for that is 617 EUR (if this might help you). Anyway, stay close to them and you'll get the answer. I will also ask them about the 6POT 304 x 28mm price and I'll let you know about it.

ps:Sorry if it was offtopic.

Cheers,
Chris.

You pointed me to the 8pot solution from D2 what sounds very interesting when the time is right

Was planning for Tarox 10-pot, but this is way more value for money

Greetings,

**Steve Webb** · 11-04-08, 08:05

Getting back on topic. I will be closing this thread soon as we have the required amount of people for the group buy. If you want to order either a Street or Rally Asphalt kit then please let me know as soon as possible.
Hopefully I will submit the order to D2 at the start of next week, and will be asking for the money from the people who want the kits at the end of next week.

Thanks

Steve

**j1v** · 11-04-08, 09:09

so what do we have to do, I haven't really understood, wait ? When and where are we sending money

I'm very interested in the D2 brake kits too, as was about to order from XYZ-racing.com

**Xti** · 11-04-08, 10:38

STREET kit with adjustable top mount for me.

Greatings,
Chris

I'm going for the GTA/GTV conversion myself. That would be quite nice combined with the rally asphalt suspension.

I have almost all parts required now, just the quick-rack, brake-lines and the discs (plus wheels that will clear the 4-pots) and I'm set.

Back to topic indeed; I definetively want this kit Steve, I believe you already chalked me up for 1 set rally asphalt?
