    I did. The parts look nice. I am getting ready to install them & ran into a little problem. The bolts holding the suspension take a special tool. I got my hands on a factory tool & had a couple made up, incase anyone wants one.

    I've bought a few items from him. The biggest complaint that I have (and have heard from others) is very, VERY poor communications. If the items are in stock, he is very good about getting them out by priority mail. However, if the part is back ordered its a whole different story.

    For example, I ordered a switch from him back in December, since he had one listed as "in stock" on his website. Here we are 1 month later and I still don't have it. He has not answered my e-mails or returned my phone calls. However, had no problem charging my credit card the $127.00 for it.

    Looks like its about time to call the credit card company......

    I bought my kit in the first week he had them for $1300 - Rear set and it is complete with everything. Not on the car yet but parts seem 100% factory. I think this price was a Ferrarichat offer only. Let the man make some money.

    This what he posted on lpower

    Boy, what a headache, just got the additional items in yesterday, long long story, but the moral is when we 1st started shipping we only allocated 005109558 @ 4 per car & 005209535 @ 4 per car, when infact there were 8 per car, so we ran out & the last couple orders were short.

    All remainder items shipped today and everyone should have the rest of the parts by Friday, tracking info has been sent.

    I've got 12 full kits in stock ready to ship out, the price on here is still good for $2299.99 + shipping, but ebay is @ $2899.99 per set now. It costs me over $300.00 in ebay fees to sell them that route.

    Is there enough room in there for that length? A socket would also be great to.

    Funny, the fees for an item that sells for $2899 should only be $134. Wonder what he's spending his other $166 on?

    I used to do the Ebay thing for a living and hate when people BS about fees, shipping, etc...

    I most certainly didn't "jack up the price", i raised the ebay price from $2499.99 to $2899.99, that's because when i ordered the additional items my supplier raised the price on us, by 8% and the ebay fees are $127.50 + $85.00 in paypal fees & if intl. add another 1%.


    The parts listed are nowhere near retail, If you purchased that exact kit from Lamborghini, the retail price is $10,200.00

    My price on this kit is $7900.00 CHEAPER than Lamborghini

    You can't even buy 8 of part # 005109558 for what i sell the entire kit for.

    I said "retail" not "rock star".

    Your price is similar to what I've paid from a dealer.

    Please post up what you did pay from a dealer, i'm sure many here, myself including would be curious to know what you paid.

    I'll give a couple examples of what's in our "retail priced" kit

    005109558 list @ Lamborghini $333.00 ea you'll need 8 of these, that's Retail
    005113897 list @ Lamborghini $560.00 ea you'll need 2 of these, that's Retail
    005209535 list @ Lamborghini $252.00 ea you'll need 8 of these, that's Retail
    005209538 list @ Lamborghini $252.00 ea you'll need 6 of these, that's Retail
     
  13. Yes, I already tried them out. No socket needed with this, just turn the bolt on the other side. I thought about a socket, but when I came across the factory tool I decided to stick with that plan.

    Your kit and OEM are not comparable. OEM is for those that are rich. For the owner who think it is 100% important to have there car be 100% original.....say for Pebble Beach.
    Your kit is aftermarket, probably better, and at great price. And all Countach owners should be bowing in appreciation that an individual actual has put the extreme effort in replicating a kit at a great price.
    I have several phases of work to be done on 1121006 in 2010. I'm hoping and trying to create a phase for this kit.

    The gold coloured badging, was that an factory option? If yes, when did they start with that option?
