right i hav noticed all the springs are black, now this isnt the end of the world as far as im concerend, i have spoken to beachboy and we have both agreed that it is best to get this group buy sorted and finished asap, so if anyone has a serious concern about the colour of the springs they can deal with powercoil directly once they have recieved the springs, should mean a lot shorter turnaround time also

not overly fussed bout the colour, spoke to the **** today, he said they done them black to get them out quiker, so i said why didnt you tell any one, he couldn't come out with a proper answer so i said you better watch out for a trading standards letter, i think im gona report them... *******

i think koni's have the shortest inserts..but also look into custom shortend inserts
ok no games now, has anyone got paynee's number?? can someone get in touch with him, he aint logged on to the msc since sunday.
its not that i doubt paynee, but if the springs were sent out last thursday and friday then its the courier company that has done sumfin with them as i dont think it would take a week to deliver springs.
its kinda important as we would all like to see sumfin arrive in the post so to speak.

Paynee just been informed by Jay that the springs have arrived, yay at last.
however sumfin still trubles my mind, you previosly stated that the 50mm springs are unmarked and all other lowering will be marked.
jay ordered the 50mm ones and i ordered 60mm, there are none that are marked 60mm.
i know im crying over spilt milk for just a matter of 10mm but have you any idea as to if one is 60mm but just not labeled or if both uve sent are 50mm??
and put side by side they are both the same measurement as far as our eyes can tell.

paynee wots going on, u sent me 50mm springs and i asked for 60mm.
I've lowered the car with the new springs on and im totally not happy, i cud have done with that extra 10mm.
you've not kept my 60mm springs to give them to someone else have you?? which im begining to think thats the case here.
and jay the new springs are about 5mm lower than my previous 30mm springs were which we know is powercoils fault but i need and do want those 60mm ones.
rear ones are fine as far as i can tell.

spec ordered from powercoil was 77mm drop at front and 88mm at rear reduction form standard length nissan springs. if powercoil havent done this they have messed up. but i dont want to even think of powercoil again and i'm sure paynee probably doesnt. you might have to take up individual cases with powercoil. i'm just going to live and learn. i havent fitted the new latest springs yet so cant comment on the drop or what powercoil have actually given us. but i wouldnt order from them again with a custom order. best buying springs where already know what the claimed drop is. but as said above -77 front and -88 rear over standard should have given a nice enough drop of about 50/55mm drop in ride height. based on the test set being -50/-50 over standard.
hold on hold on.
thats not the issue here beachboy, the fact is powercoil regardless of whos measurements are correct or not, made springs that were suposedly 50mm drop, 60mm drop 70mm drop etc for the various people in the group buy who requested these different drops.
jay requested 50mm and i did 60mm.
paynee then said that springs not marked were 50mm and all other drops would be marked.
soo when the delivery came to jay's both sets were the same and were unmarked, leading to us thinking they are 50mm. and yes side by side they are in fact the same size.
i aint saying that ive not got a ginuwine 50mm drop or 60mm or woteva we have, that was expected anyway from the start dealing with people like powercoil but all im saying is that i should have a set that are 10mm shorter than wot i have recieved.
now i dont know if you and paynee are communicating privately through email or wot have you, telling you to get me off his back but im owed 60mm springs!
plus £15 which was not used for the delivery, which is the last thing on my mind but thought i would inform you that that also has gone astray.

in that case best to pm paynee or direct to powercoil to see if they have a comment about that. i havent been in contact since getting the springs. i think that powercoil have made all the group order the same size and all black. i think that after the drop revision i ordered they made them all to new drop based on my revisons of the 50mm drop given to me. but they didnt take off another 10mm at front for those who wanted 60mm front drop.
like i said in pm sent to jay, i thought it had written on the bottom of the springs the drop i have checked the springs that i still have and noticed this is not the case unless someone else has springs that say this. as for secret communications, have a word with yourself!
and as for money for postage refunds i went out of my way to send your springs to jay for your convenience and to save you money and your twistin because you havent got 7 or 8 quid change back yet. i have been busy at work lately working 12hr shifts and plenty of overtime to pay for the new car so have barely been online, if everyone can pm me there paypal details and i will send monies back on monday when i get paid,
if your still not happy about heights etc. get in touch with powercoil since they were the ones who made and sent springs to me so ultimately they are the ones who have ****ed up!

dont be getting all loud and proud!
you both dont know wot ur chatting about, NOW beachboy says that he reckons powercoil have given us all the same size springs, how are the rest of us supposed to know that!!!!!! answer that!! if id known that in the first place then half of the posts ive posted would never have been posted!!
secondly you even said yourself that ones that are not 50mm are marked, which obviosly means that 60mm springs 65mm etc were in fact produced by powercoil and sent to you!
get your head sorted out, cos ur sooo twisting your words now, read your posts to confirm wot im chatting about!
what you mean going out of your way?? it was made easier for you to send them to one address.
and its not a matter of 7 or 8 quid, it cost you £11 to send mine and jays springs, we both paid £15, soo you can either paypal the money back to jay for the amount of £19 or send us a cheque.
and another thing, im begining to wonder that if i hadn't of kicked up a fuss, i dont think anyone would have seen thier monies. its not about a few pounds either... its about PRINICIPAL!
and know one thing, that all this is not because of the final height of the springs, its that i was lead to believe that 60mm springs were produced, and in your possesion BUT not sent to its rightful owner.
hah and me winging like a gal, why dont you face up to your actions like a man.
