Default camber caster kits

Do any of you Downunder know anything about an outfit named k-mac suspension? They're located at366 Princes Highway, Rockdale NSW. They have a website on which they advertise a camber caster kit for the 350Z. I placed an order for a kit Saturday before last, and have heard nothing from them - no acknowledgment - nothing at all. I've emailed a request for a response 3 times, and still nothing. The charge has not hit my credit card, either. Their web-site is www.k-mac.com.au. Is it a legitimate outfit?

They're probably closed for the Christmas break!

Try the phone if you don't get any joy with email.

They're well known so I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Having said that I never received a response to my email queries either so if that's their idea of customer service I'll buy a different product.

They responded right away after I e-mailed to their sales e-mail address. Check the website for the sales e-mail address.

It was their sales address I emailed. I'll look at a US or Japanese product instead when I'm ready.

I could not find a US kit - at least on the internet. This was the only site that popped up on google - nothing else. Looks like no one in the US has developed the kit.

I gave up on them. They first said early February - then, the last week in February - then nothing. I canceled my order - reluctantly, but Kevin was not very communicative - took days to respond to my e-mails - never explained anything. The product seemed like it would really do the job, but I have been left wondering if it exists - at least, they never charged my credit card. Se what kind of luck you have, and let me know.

I've been told they have gone back to the drawing board on the kit.

Some other mob is also looking at doing this. I can post something once I hear from them. Don't expect anything too soon though.... it's a very small market here in Australia.

Thanks for the info. All Kevin had to do was keep me informed. As for the small market - if they'll let everyone know what's going on about the kit - they can have a really large market here in the states. It seems their product will fulfill more needs than those that have been "advertised" on MY350Z. Keep in touch. Thanks again.
