Default DRM Bilstein V7.0 (It's back!!!)

Hello ladies and Gentlemen,
The DRM Bilstein's Group Buy is back in action.

1st, The order has been placed (8-1-2014)
2nd, Bilstein has put a build date of 11-14-14 on them (we have seen delays in the past)

Here is the history of the product.
DRM took a set of standard Bilstein sport shocks and installed them into a C6Z. We found them to be a improvement but felt the car needed something better. Using our years of racing and street driving experience on Bilstein shocks and started working on the valving. Our goal was to have a shock that

1.Increased feel for the driver
2.Rid all unsettling feelings in the car over bumps
3.Offer a better ride
4.Increase mechanical grip
5.Keep the back end of the car planted!



We also offer a Bushing up-grade, that has raised questions. The bushings are made out of a harder poly material to allow less bushing deflection and longer bushing life. There isn’t much of any drawbacks to running the bushings. Besides some added feel of the road and allowing the shocks to work better. The cost on the bushings is 25 dollars.

So here is the deal on the group buy v6.0.
50 dollars down and 400 dollars at the time of delivery. We will send a email with a link to pay the balance. Total $450.00 shipped to the lower 48 states.

You can also call in your order to our sales office. International shipping is not a problem (extra fees will apply)

Thanks

I just bought a cherry 2006 Z06 with 12,500 miles on it. I've heard such good things, I've put down my deposit for these shocks. I can't wait to see how they work!

Hey meanjoe, I love your image!

Yeah me too.
I'm so tired of the peeps that get on their cell phones, then jump in the left lane, go 10-20 MPH under the speed limit and then get an attitude when everybody shakes their fist at them for tying up traffic.
Here in Texas that S@#% is illegal but they do it anyway.

Just ordered
Just curious, if they do build them on or around the expected date, how long does it usually take before they are ready to be shipped?

It's a two(ish) week process from past experiences. Our goal is to push out 90 percent in the first 48 hours of being here.
