Default Corvette Engineering: Wilwood update?

Just curious how the wilwoods are coming along for those of us in the GP. I figured I'd rather post here than email so that the info gets to all of us who are eagerly waiting.

I pm'ed Keith over the weekend for an update and he said Wilwood had to make the calipers and as of last thursday they promised they would ship them out this evening. Keith said he would call them today to verify that. He also said he had the brackets and lines ready, just waiting on the calipers.

Hey guys, Sorry I missed this thread till now, but there's the update...

Yes I have a basement full of boxes filled with lines, fittings and calipers ready to go. Just need the dern calipers.
The distributor I orderd from didn't have enough to fill the order so Wilwood is making them and drop shipping them to me.


I've been calling regulary. LAST monday they said Oh no problem it shows here that the calipers are in transit, should be there by Thursday...

Thursday, no calipers.
I called Friday morning, They call Wilwood, wilwood says they have everything except the Superlite 4's and they will ship when they are done.
Bzzzzt Wrong answer, I make them promise to ship on monday.

Monday, I call again, Wilwood repetes what they said on Friday! Seems they forgot. So again they promise to ship everything they can that day and will get me a tracking number on tuesday ( today) so I will be calling them yet again today to make sure they don't forget again...

I'll update everyone again when I hear something, good or bad

Keith
