Please help with ground control issues..

se7enty7 · Jul 28th, 2003, 08:08 PM

Okay.. I bought a set of used ground controls and AGX's when one of my rear shocks disassembled itself. My car has not been on the road for about a week and a half now..

I just recieved the suspension stuff and there are some parts missing:

There are three upper aluminum perches I am missing. Anyone know of a good replacement? do I have one rear one or one front one? Will buying the motivational upper mounts render replace what I am missing?

Thanks.
Jacob

the rusted things in the first pic he sent and I don't need .. those are stock ones.

See how there are supposed to be 4 aluminum ones? I only got one. I need the other three.

motivational is closed till aug 7th?!? Why me?!?!??

where did you get the suspension from

se7enty7 · Jul 28th, 2003, 08:25 PM

Another forum member.

I got a good deal, and the reason the parts are missing aren't his fault, but they aren't there. So, I now have to replace them. He's sending me a check for $28 to pay for half of them (ground control will sell them for $15 each.. plus shipping..) but I cannot wait that long with no car..

talk to ground control and see if they over night them... they could work something out you just might have to pay a little more money.. thats all i can really tell you sorry bout that bro

se7enty7 · Jul 28th, 2003, 08:39 PM

god this blows. I'd love to buy the motivational mounts if I have to buy them. damn.

this is much worsened by the fact that paypal is ROYALLY outright stealing money from me, and I had to get all new cards, so I CANT use paypal, and CANT use my cards.. so I have sent a damn check. ARG

i feel sorry for u.. how is paypal stealing money from you

se7enty7 · Jul 28th, 2003, 08:42 PM

I misspelled an email address while sending money, and when it got returned paypal deducted the amount of the transaction x2.. I had to threaten all kinds of HELL for the past 4 or 5 days to get them to correct it
then they informed me it's possible it would happen again, so I closed ALL my accounts, and everything I'm still short about $75 from paypal..

psuLemon · Jul 28th, 2003, 08:44 PM

that blows.. i hate companies that pull that bullshit..

Hey Jacob, the motivational mounts does NOT replace those perches man. You'll still need them even if you buy motivationals. Try to ask GC to send you a installation guide for their coilovers when you buy the perches then you'll see what i'm talking about.

Thanks for the info...

grr.. gotta wait till I get my new card before I can call ground control

Sorry to hear your troubles, hope you get your car back together soon.

I had a similar problem with PayPal. They took the money from the card and then paid nobody. Couldn't get them to reverse the charges or anything. It was a royal pain. I refuse to use them anymore.
