At least the story is the same, so hopefully we all get our suspensions and hopefully all will be well with his buddy in Taiwan.

I got another email from Cedric today thanking me for my patience and understanding. I'm glad he's staying in contact.

Green1995SVX · #48 04-04-2012, 05:32 PM

Hear anything recently? He emailed me a few days ago to say he's having to produce them through another source.

Same story here-

Hello Brian,

I'm organising for the kit to be built, i will let you know during this week when it can be shipped. It will not take long.

Regards,
Cedric

sounds promising

Green1995SVX · #51 04-09-2012, 06:31 PM

Hello Mike,

It's the end of the problems now, i've sorted out all my supplies and the kit is being assembled this week.

I will let you know asap what is the ETA.

I'm going to Taiwan tomorrow to make sure everything goes to plan and trying to see if my previous supplier is ok since i don't have any news since the operation.

I will let you know asap.

Thank you for your understanding. I can promise you that you will be satisfied with the kit. And there will be no more delays in the future. We will have kits assembled in 2 working days for the 1 way adjustable and 7 working days for the 2 ways.

I will also be using more suppliers for the various parts so if one lets me down, i wont be stuck like this time.

Best Regards,
Cedric

Have you heard anything from Cedric as of late? Just wondering.

North Ursalia · #55 04-24-2012, 04:31 AM

Got this the other day:

Hello Brian,

I want to make sure that everything is perfect for the kit, we had to make new drawings for the CNC machining, as the new mounts will be machined in T6061 alloy since my previous partner left us.

After this kits are made, it will take only a few days to custom build other kits with custom valving. We just need to get the mounts right.

I will let you know if it can be shipped during this week.

Regards,
Cedric

What's the status? Still waiting for the first set to be inspected? Will this kit require anything but the actual swap?

North Ursalia · #57 05-06-2012, 11:09 AM

I do not believe that anyone has gotten a set at all. I asked for a refund until the struts ship, and got this back after 4 days:

Hello Brian,
The kit is not finished yet.
I'm flying to Taiwan tomorrow mid day and i will be at the factory on monday morning to make sure everything is done properly, and to take care of all the other stuff pending in person.
You know that i was providing top customer service and fast reply when everything was running smoothly. But now this has just been hell for me. I don't sleep at night, i got sick this week from all the stress and hassle, that's the main reason why i wasn't communicating. I just hope everything will go back to normal asap.
To be honest with you, my partner managed to steal over 33,000usd from me and about the same to my shock maker. I've been in touch with a debt recovery company in Taiwan this week to try to get this money back. But nothing is sure, if he flew to HK or China, i have no chance to get my money back.
I've been in some serious troubles and so much stress.
You have my new company website etc... I haven't been promoting the new website yet as everything didn't go back to normal as fast as i was hopping, but it would help me a lot if i wouldn't have to refund you until the shipping date since i had to to pay twice for the parts of your order. I'm really paying out of my pockets for your kit to be made without any profits at all.
And even worst, paypal blocked my account due to the delivery issue and they blocked all the funds for the payment i got from customers for 180days... They didn't care if it was my fault or not. I want to do the best for my customers so i have to pay out of my pocket until paypal releases my money...
I will let you know asap when it can be sent. I hope it's ok with you.
regards,
Cedric

I'm sympathetic, but it has been one excuse after another- two weeks ago it was "new CAD drawings because they are using new material for the strut mounts" and while I'm no CNC guru, I don't think you need new drawings for a different material. Shrug.

I received an email from him the other day after having to email 3 times asking for a status update. He had said 3 weeks ago that he expected them to be ready in 1-2 weeks, so I emailed and asked what the holdup was. He said that they are "still in production."

Sigh. We'll see, I guess. At least he's still responding.

jetboy · #59 05-21-2012, 01:58 PM

And still nothing?

North Ursalia · #60 05-21-2012, 02:10 PM

The latest I have is:

Hello Brian,

I'm sorry for the late reply, i just went back to France. It was good that i went to Taiwan to double check everything for the kit.

The factory has been working on the parts, and it will take a few days only to be completed. We are waiting on some mounts to be completed.

I'm waiting for the confirmation on the definite shipping date.

I've set the reply to to our company email: info@ceikaperformance.com

Best regards,
Cedric

The website is up now, which is somewhat of a good sign I suppose.
