Re: Ed @ FlyNbye.

hmmmm I need a pair of his custom LS1 brake cables, this has me wondering if I should just order from his site or call to confirm he can send it out in a reasonable time.

Re: Ed @ FlyNbye.

Got my parts in today from Ed! It was the last thing I needed to finish my rear diff. They look good and feel very heavy duty.

Re: Ed @ FlyNbye.

Ed helped me with my PBR disc brake conversion last summer. He did respond to me when I emailed him at the email address provided through paypal.

Re: Ed @ FlyNbye.

I ordered my ls1 front brake swap parts and mailed in my spindles at the end of Feb and I'm still waiting on parts. I'm moving soon and need this car rolling so I can move it.

Re: Ed @ FlyNbye.

I have also had issues with waiting for things to be shipped, work being done, and unreturned phone calls. When I have been able to get ahold of Ed he is a very nice and knowledgable guy. His products and work are great they're just very slow.

I'm currently trying to get ahold of Ed. I bought my ls1 brackets from him and the bottom bolt that mounts the caliper bracket to the spindle seems to be way too long. Its so long that it sticks far enough out of the backside of the spindle that i cant turn the wheel left almost at all with out hitting the steering stop with it.( i havent done the passenger side yet). It's a metric bolt w a thin hex head on it to clear the caliper bracket. Has anyone else had this issue? Am I missing something?

Re: Ed @ FlyNbye.

Wish I could help. It's been two months and still no parts. I sure hope I get them soon. Tried to call the other day and left a message. Haven't gotten a response. I don't mind waiting for parts, but I dislike not communicating with me especially when they have close to $700 of my money. Talking with me and letting me know what's going on isn't that difficult to do. Wish I could have waited to pay.
