I wouldn't worry too much; Powertrix has run a good number of GB's so is experienced with this sort of thing.
I have the utmost confidence that Charles@powertrix (owner) will get these coils out to you guys the second they arrive (and are paid for in full, no doubt). It's difficult to say what could have come up, but it seems some sort of delay may have occurred, causing the additional wait. Keep in mind that the last update I gave referenced late August and the last email dated 8/25 did have the following text:
I've got my fingers crossed for everyone and do apologize for the delay, on behalf of Powertrix. In my experience, it is beneficial to underestimate ETA's but in the case Powertrix, I am not the one who denotes ETA's, but rather he who helps communicate the message.
Based on the info provided, there's really no reason for concern, though I can understand being anxious. If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. For those of you who have been around 8club for a good while - Don't worry, we aren't in another Shine FEED replica front/sides situation here, haha!

I’ve seen as quickly as 3-4 days and as long as 2 weeks for US Customs clearance depending on how much they want to inspect. We always hope for the earlier.

I have my fingers crossed every day that these things clear!
It's sort of funny - I am neither the manufacturer nor the customer yet I'm really anxious to get these out to everyone. Your RX8's deserve better handling and ride height asap!
So, let's plan a covert operation to break into customs and take the pallets loaded with our coilovers so we can get these installed. Anyone else down?

I called Charles yesterday and he said they're sitting in a customs warehouse, they need to hurry their asses up!

At least they're here. Every passing day they sit at customs is a day closer for them to release it.
I'm so down for that plan. Let me just kayak 2700 miles to Cali first, pm you when I'm there.

Oh, that reminds me!
For those of you handy with a camera - If you happen to do any photoshoots once the coilovers are installed or up for a DIY install, please post it in the media section!
As you will soon find out, these are the best coilovers in this price range so I would really love to help spread the word.
Derek - We should soon know about whether we'll be able to swap spring rates

I have paid in full as of yesterday. The powertrix email sent out says this as well. I would PM you but my work computer won't load PMs for some reason. Look for last name "Meglen"
