It might be another 4 weeks. I ordered today and was told they are on back order till June 19th. Not very good news, but better than none at all.

Thats about right. I was told the 15th.
At this point I think I'll wait. A couple of weeks it's not going to matter much in the end. I get the feeling that this is a supply issue with Tokico. Custom Maxima was in the same boat waiting for supply when I last talked to them as well.

Even if this is true, Mr. Scott should be updating the thread

I would consider this group deal dead.

We haven't heard anything from Scott since the beginning of May.

This is the email I received this morning:
"Hello this is Scott's wife Colette. The group deal is running but Scott got called to go to the desert he will not be back until mid June and that is when it will all start up again. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Thank You
Colette Singletary "

I ordered mine about two months ago and got my money refunded because they were backordered. Well I just email jdmwerks and they told me to send the money. I did and they sent me a tracking number and it should be here tommorow. When I ordered though they had only recieved 2 orders of Illuminas and I got one of them. So try e-mailing them it worked for me.

I thought I'd share this with you guys. I was trying to look for a contact number on the internet and this is what I found out about JDMWerks --> "Stay away from JDMwerks on E-bay if you can..."

All that shows is that the dude who ordered the struts is a complete idiot.

Recieved an email from JDMWerks. Parts came in today and my complete kit will ship on the 18th. Patience does pay off it seems.

Wish I jumped on this sooner. Let us know when you get yours. If you do, I'm going to JDMwerks direct.

Another reply from JDMwerks... They did not ship Friday but will tomorrow (Tuesday) and I should have a tracking number Tuesday evening....

SiMpLy... I do not have JDM's phone #, but I'm sure a little digging around on the web would turn it up pretty quick.

Update to follow...

Anyone hear from Scott? Has he made it back from "the desert"??? Hope he's doing ok. We all owe him a vote of thanks, not for this GD, but his service to this country that lets the rest of us worry about far less significant things....

Scott is the one who set up this quasi-GD Right now he is out of town...Iraq maybe... for how long we don't know.
Look at the 1st post for info on what's being offered.

Try e-mailing jdmwerks@earthlink.net This is where the struts/shocks/springs are comming from. He sometimes has stuff on eBay as well.

I'm one of those guys who ordered the kit back at the end of April. After nearly a month, I emailed jdmwerks only to discover that they would not be available until June 18. Now, I don't mind the delay too much, these things happen. What didn't impress me was that I was not given this information sooner. I should not have had to email him for this information.

Anyways, I sent an email 3 days ago and still haven't gotten a reply. Since I've got full access to our mail server, I know that it wasn't quarantined or bounced due to being identified as spam, so no reply ever arrived at our mail server. (Yeah I even searched our logs)

I sent off another email yesterday but still haven't gotten a reply. I starting to have doubts about this whole situation. Anyone got any information to alleviate this feeling that I'm being either ignored or ripped off?

There's a couple of things going on here and it all adds up to a lot of frustration.

JDMwerks.
Ignored maybe. Ripped off, No. I had a similar experience with this guy/company not replying to email. I ordered and paid May 4th. It took a couple of e-mails to get a reply. I was originally told by Scott that they would be available mid May. When I did get a reply from JDM it was June 15. To give them a bit of a break, he/they are not just dealing with the org. There's all the other car forums, ebay, maybe an online business too. I'd imagine they get 100s of emails a day.

Tokico.
This may be the biggest part of the problem. I get the feeling that there may be supply issues with the Illumina kits being so new. JDMwerks was out of stock on the springs and rear shocks when I ordered. When I talked to Custom Maxima they were not going to have kits till mid June either. When I talked to Tokico they claimed no knowledge of an Illumina kit at all.

The Good News.
JDM came through and I received a tracking number on the 22. I'll have them Monday.
