Just a heads up regarding TPC racing/JRZ USA.

I purchased a set of sway bars for my 997 GT3 from TPC. When they arrived my mechanic tried to install them but they would not fit. After several conversations with TPC it was determined that they were for the 997 (non GT3). I told Tom at TPC that I was shipping them back but they refused them. He said all sales are final. I told him that he sold me bars for the wrong car and he said too bad.

I am shocked that a pro racing shop would conduct business this way. Be warned if you do business with them. I would not.

 

That is horrible. They really aren't going to take them back. i cant believe that. Sounds like their screw up.

 

Talk with Mike Levitas directly, he should solve the problem., let us know the outcome., Sonny.

 

I have tried many times. My mechanic who knows him talked to him but this guy Tom is getting in the way. I can't get past Tom. Mike told my mechanic that the rear bar is for the 3.8l subframe and that it was never intended for a GT3. Maybe Mike is no longer the owner.

 

I'll contact him tomorrow, steer him to this thread,cheers, Sonny.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

They actually over charged me too. Website says 1195.00 and they charged me 1595.00 When I brought it to Tom's attention I was told that is the new price.

 

That is unacceptable. I would take them to a small claims court immediately.

 

This is ridiculous, I would call me cc company and be done with it. I hope you stuck it on the Amex!

 

MC and I have already contacted them. But what a hassle that we should not have to go through!

 

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Just curious how you are running your existing sway bars. My set up isn't as advanced as yours, but I have new lower control arms, adjustable toe links, and solid motor mounts. I've softened the rear sway bar to full soft. I'm now wondering if I should put it to the middle in back. Also, what are you running for your front sway bar? I know that you've changed your springs so this probably factors in to the equation.

 

I am running 900/900 springs on JRZ's with a very agressive alignment, so my settings would not help you at all. I am putting on 997 Cup blade sway bars next week.

 

hmm...thats no right i cant belive they are treating you like this ...im a customer of theirs ,and they were great to deal withand tom is cool to deal with in my case anyway...i also have the same aways as u do ..but for a 996tt.. look on their website and see how much they have them listed for ..and mike is a really nice guy also he helped me out . ...ill try calling if u want me to also and try to resovle this...

which jrz's are u running ? the ones that are similar to motons? and if u dont mind me asking what do tehy ussualy go for ?

 

cheesy move on the part of TPC... they have no idea how they just screwed over a very good , loyal customer.... good luck getting it resolved.

 

maybe you rubbed them the wrong way. you know how those guys can get.
