They said they are working on a fix but won't give me any info. Nor have they responded to me about a refund.

Would u plz tell me that are these HVT mounts higher than stock mounts after installing? I have Cusco tower bar, and it may block these HVT mount(as image shows). If yes, for how much higher? I think I may not be able to place the order without a confident answer, thank you.

No problem, I'll take some measurements and pictures as soon as I get home tonight.

Latest email I got from Jan (today) is that they are in the final stages of testing their fix and that I would be contacted once they have finalized the fix.

I realize this isn't the most precise measurement but I thought it may be the best way to check the clearance. This was taken at the front edge of the driver side camber plate right where your brace would pass over it. I hope it helps but if you can think of another method let me know and I'll measure it for you.

As soon as I hear that these mounts are fixed and working properly, I will be happy to order these.

Has anyone gotten a fixed set? @Whiteline keeps dodging my request on a damn refund. Getting pissed. This is probably going to have me never order parts from them again. what a damn waste.

I was going to bump this thread today for updates.

They are likely close to a solution and just waiting to drop the news to everyone. That's my hope anyway....

No updates yet. Last email was back on 9/3 and Jan told me they were in late stages of testing and that I would be notified when there was an update.
