Ok guys, It looks like you guys really came through for us and A1 has noticed the market for our cars. Several of you guys have ordered the Tie Rods so it seems like we've convinced A1 we're serious.
I got a call yesterday from A1 asking me to let them "borrow" my car for R&D on Tension Control Rods. I let them borrow it yesterday for the day for measurements and will go back sometime within the next week or 2 for test fittings. :)
These will probably be tested at the end of the month at my local drifting event so I'll let you all know and keep you updated. If this continues soon we may have a whole line of parts for our cars!! :)
Anyways I'll keep you guys posted.
