People who want OEM+ build would care

I put in an order in August and still waiting. Finally got a response from Brian at ft86speedfactory that there’s none in stock and that you (drambeenie) are waiting for parts from your supplier. How long do you think that will be?

I was watching this thread with a lot of interest as you were developing these risers - just purely intrigue as I had a 2014 model at the time, but since that got written off and I now have a 2019 on the way, I really wanted these

Hi all,

I’m in the middle of production for 100 new risers. I apologize for the delay, production always seems to be taking longer than expected.

After this new batch of risers, I think I’m gonna stop producing them. Just too much stress.

Putting together plans for the next Twins project, which will work across all year models, if I decide to do it

Thanks for your patience.

Hey, I received my risers today, but they came with absolutely no instructions in the box - the instructions that everyone else has claimed are so good and helpful. I’m sure I can work it out myself, but instructions with those extra helpful tips do help to save time and little errors that can be made.
Any help @Drambeenie?

Got my @Drambeenie risers today in the mail. Was there supposed to be zipties on the inner core, as in QueenBRZ's video?

Geesh what timing. I had just bought colored ones and had them painted black. This would have saved me some dough.

I was about to do the same actually, I messaged Drambeenie and he mentioned that whatever left over stock he had would eventually get on his amazing store, so I waited hoping there would just be satin black ones.

Anybody else get these gaps between the spoiler and the risers? It looks like the new riser internal has a shoulder on it that's creating the gap. Thoughts?

Did you tighten the trunk to riser nuts in the same location as stock?


Did the two inner structures fit together flush with the new shell?

Yep, and I think so. Everything clicked together during assembly quite nicely, but then when I went to install the whole thing and tighten down the spoiler bolts, the gap never closed, at least not nearly as much as I had thought it would.
