yeah it doesnt have coils it just has lower springs i get what you mean :D

a set of coils would make it look mean but i dont really wanna spend 1.2k+ and then 200 for installation

Install them yourself :thumbsup:

I'll be doing it myself for the first time, was thinking of writing up a guide, but haven't quite decided on it yet. >_<

EDIT: No idea on how much it will cost, shouldn't be more than $100 I reckon, all you have to do is take 1 bolt off the bottom and 2 off the top.

I think processed simply means the order you made online has been well .. processed and they payments been received I guess

But no I dont think they've shipped it out by the Processed stage haha

On final inspection it becomes "shipped" when they have

Yea, same with most sites I buy from, usually goes from Awaiting payment, Processing then Shipped.

Credit card would be an instant payment, I checked and the payment did go through, it's being sitting on processed since Tuesday when I bought it, but nothing else after.

I just want a simple email from them telling me whats going on, but it's seems impossible.

I can't be stuffed waiting for them to get them in stock as there are heaps of other places that have them in stock and can be dispatched immediately.

Supposdley there were 3 sets in stock when i bought them though...

might mean that their still packing em up for you mate :)

After 2 days, 3rd coming?

I only ordered 1 set of coilovers, I hear people ordering half cuts, various engine components and receiving them in record time.

Quite frustrating really.

Thats not too bad, sometimes they take some time to pack it up and send it off

Generally I expect all my orders to be 1-2 weeks longer than what they say itll take just due to ineffiencies .. sometimes im pleasantly surprised :)

Justjap may also have more orders to process/pack so it may take awhile since their a bigger business

although if they are bigger they should really be more efficient ...

how long did they say itll take for you to receive the package once its been shipped?

"Normal Australia Post: 3-21 days (Subject to Australia Post delivery timeframes and delivery destination)", that's to do with Aus post though, they haven't handed it to them yet.

They do say "We dispatch customer orders daily, meaning fast and efficient delivery, direct to you."

Yet they can't dispatch a simple set of Coilovers.

What really gets on my nerves though is they haven't replied to a single email or PM.

I generally expect emails/pms to take a day or two to get a reply back mate

People can't constantly be at the computer answering emails etc! I would have expected a call to get through though

and LOL at 3-21 days for shipment, thats a huge margin haha

no matter what the company says i generally expect about a week or so before they ship the order out

and also that statement We dispatch customer orders daily, meaning fast and efficient delivery, direct to you."

may mean that they dispatch SOME customer orders daily, they may not be able to pack and send every order out on that day itself!

just relax and wait for em mate, if it takes any longer than 21 days then thats the time to start getting worried but for now just relax :)

Yea, I understand, I actually sent them my first email a few days ago, if you have a read around or look at their Trader ratings, everyone boast how good their communication is and how they ordered x time and got it x time the next day.

I expected to get my call through as well, they have 6 phone lines!

I guess I'll just have to wait it out.

Next time I might go with a different business.

Its a shame when a business loses customers just cos they couldnt be reliable and pick up their phones.

it'd bugger me off when they dont respond when i try to get in touch with them though, especially when its an expensive purchase.

probably why i still prefer going to stores and buying stuff instead of online even though its probably cheaper, i just like to deal with people i can see and stuff

Exactly, even through eBay I get snappy responses from sellers, it's extremely frustrating knowing your out of pocket 1.3K and the business is not bothering to reply, especially when they have a well talked about reputation. :spank:

I'll wait it out this time, but I don't think there will be a next time.

if they have a good reputation im quite sure that theres a good reason why their not able to get back in touch with you or something

if theyve got the best prices i wouldnt let just one bad experience with them throw me off, unless i never received the goods or anything or it came alot later ..

just remember with those 'BC coilovers' dont go raising and lowering your car just because you want to... whenyou change the ride height significantly you really need camber adjustments to match, changing the height and camber is not someone anyone can just do...

I run bilstein and lowered spring with all the camber adjustment and sways etc.... and got a professional alignment done from a specialist workshop, not pedders or jax, a decent workshop who specialised in suspension setups for extreme 4wds, track & rally cars and it made all the difference...

I find no need to change the height from street to track and yep Im all the same height at both side of the car and i installed all the parts myself but got a good 4 wheel alignment done...

its true what was mentioned earlier about monotube and twin tube shocks... I think cheap coilovers have a placebo effect on most people, and a shock and spring setup no matter what it is for our cars is still called a coilover.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
