I was not going to get an account until I became a paying advertiser, but I need to address a few statements here. I will become a paying advertiser first thing next week and will gladly pay for the last week or two that our company's name has been on here.
As for the springs, I work closely with Deaver Spring, I have for many years of racing and for the last 4 years they have built many springs specifically for our campany. As for the develpoment of the 07-08 Tundra springs, I really had no hand physically in the design other than the ride height I wanted and the resulting ride characteristics that I was looking for. I am not sure if they used some other pack or part there of. I am not familiar with other Toyota springs or mini-packs. I take the finished prototypes and test the results and request changes until I'm happy. That is the way the springs get developed. I dont sit there with a hammer slaving away over a buring fire pounding springs into curved shapes. Here is another example, I recently brought drawings of a current Frontier spring to Deaver, with the qualities I need to build a race-style pack. I will pick-up the preproduction springs in a week or so. I dont know if they all ready exsist, or if they are identicle to some other Toyota/Frontier pack, as long as they do what I want. We test them and if the results are good then we are ready to go into production.
As for talking smack about another company, I'm not sure what I said to you, I dont even remember talking to you or who you are, but if I offended you Im sorry. I have made plenty of enemies in this industry in the last few years (from retail to publications to racing) and Im sure I'll make a few more with enough time. I have also built many, many more alliances and have had plenty of customers/clients become great friends. My point is not to offend or disrespect but if I have a beef with a certain company or product, Ill probably let you know. If a product doesn't perform to expectations, I'll probably let you know (even if we sell it). If a company lies about the performance of certain products, or if it can be improved or you can get it elswhere at a better price (even if that means I lose a sale), I'll probably tell you. Our company has decided to focus on the customer, to offer parts that the end user can use in daily life, at a good price, and offer good service. We are not concerned with magazine articles, fancy showrooms, or building race cars. We focus on the customer and his/her needs.
