Default K-Mac Front Camber/Caster kit

Has anyone talked to K-Mac about these lately. I know that they were redesigning what they had originally put out and the new ones were supposed to be ready in September. I sent them an inquiry a few weeks ago but hadn't heard anything back.

I'm interested in their front kit. I went ahead and sent them a email inquiry of my own. I asked them if the front kits are out yet and if not what is the E.T.A. same for pricing in U.S. funds.
I noticed that when I sent the inquiry this message appeared.

"If your enquiry is really urgent
please call us at 61 2 9556 1799 or fax at 61 2 9556 1507."

So if someone was willing, they could be called.

http://www.k-mac.com.au/makes/nissan.htm

Part number for the front is

'FRONT' CAMBER / CASTER KITS
350Z (Z33) '02-'04 # 541516 L

discription:Replaces entire upper control arm providing separate Camber and Caster adjustment.


Since lsdunique already offer a nice rear camber/ traction arm kit I"m personely not interested in K-macs rear offerings. Just the front.

Look for our front upper control arm for front camber adjustment in the next couple weeks.

Very fairly priced, as with all our products.

I just got an e-mail back from them on the front kit. Their price for the front kit(replaces upper control arm) to adjust camber and caster is $465. They said they can ship in 24 hours and will take Visa or Mastercard. If my tires start to cup again, I will probably buy their front kit. No sign of it yet, but my faith in Nissan fixing it is at a new low.

I emailed K-mac yesterday. I want to see what their product looks like. The only pics we ever saw of their rear bushings were supplied by a forum member who bought them sight unseen. They need to supply more info and details.

Also don't forget their price doesn't include shipping from Australia.

I'll wait for LSD's to come out.

I actually got a personal telephone call from Kevin@K-Mac yesterday afternoon. He said they will be publically annoucing the availability of there new 350Z Front A-arm kits at a show in Las Vegas on Nov. 4 with samples to see first hand.

If anyone lives in the Las Vegas area and can find the "Race Parts" show it sure would be nice if they could report back to the forum about these parts.

It looks like more than one vender for the adjustable camber and/or caster upper control bar may be at SEMA. Good.

I've had a few emails with them the last being on March 7th. They are still in the prototype stage and hope to have a finished product ready for the Auto Salon Show in LA on April 2.

Update: Just received another response from K-Mac and they are now saying definately the end of May for availability. Don't know if I want to wait any longer. I wish 350EVO would come out with theirs.

QUOTE:

"Discussed the product with various Nissan Performance Dealers and enthusiasts.

Decided on further improvements to make in the ultimate design.

So will still have to extend production date.

Surely (and am confident), that stock by end of May"
