Spr,

Sorry to hear about your experience. Lensolo did explain to me prior to accepting my order that he needs to sell 12 kits prior to shipping any of them. It’s taken quite a bit of time to rally the troops for this purchase and we have 11 orders completed with only one open spot. The kits are already made and once that last spot is filled, I’m told the 12 orders will be shipped out. I understand that it is not possible for anyone to accurately determine how long it will take to sell all 12 kits, so I can understand if you needed to back out of your purchase, however, if you still need a kit, perhaps ending the dispute would allow you to fill the last spot and allow everyone to receive their kit within 1-2 weeks as Lensolo promised.

Are you kidding me? Are you daft? The guy completely lied about his manufacture, delivery, completion, and ship dates. Further he failed to return any of my emails after the fact. The guy is a complete fraud and if you are endorsing him without any actual performance you're just as bad. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH LENSLO YOU WILL BE DEFRAUDED. Check the other forums. Moderator please ban.

Spr,

No, I am not kidding you and no I am not daft. I’m merely sharing my experience with Lensolo with the rest of the board members in a more detailed way then how you are sharing your experience. When I completed my order, he was upfront regarding what was necessary to complete my purchase and he explained that there could be a lag time to complete the sale of the kits. I accepted the fact that it could take awhile going into the deal. Furthermore, when he’s not traveling overseas, he has been responsive to my requests for updates, etc. and I don’t know him anymore than I know you, so there has been no preferential treatment. Instead of simply saying:

Perhaps it would be more educational and productive for the rest of the members on the board to explain in detail how:

Making a comment like:

Is a bold statement to make and as such, the burden of proof lies on you. I know I would rather here the facts versus baseless commentary, generalizations, and personal attacks, and I’m sure that the other members of the board would agree. I’m not saying that you did not have a bad experience, I’m simply asking for you to explain your experience in more detail.

I apologize if you perceive my posts to be an endorsement of Lensolo, but that was not my intention and I do not see where you would get that impression. I do not need to endorse Lensolo, as there are plenty of other members that have purchased his camber kits that offered glowing reviews. I’m simply sharing the opportunity to purchase a camber kit through Lensolo with other members on MBWorld in case they are unaware of the opportunity.

To me, your actions would be more deserving of being banned from the forum than mine, but I would not wish that on any member. I respect the opinion of all members and utilize this forum to educate myself as an enthusiast and consumer, so please feel free to enlighten us on your personal experience. I encourage you to do so. I know that I for one would have been interested in hearing your experience prior to making my purchase, but I also know not to pass judgment on others without justification, which is why I remain hesitant to make any decision simply based off of your unsubstantiated claims.

These accusations are invalid as long as you don't provide proof. SS conversations, attempted emails, receipts, and post them on here?

Asking for a ban without proof like that is kinda pathetic by the way. So iunno, pics, **** or gtfo :P

Wow. I try and educate the members on the forum and I deal with this? Why is it that most of the members here are so poorly educated and morons? Go get jacked. I could give a rats ***. He told ME the exact same deal. WORD for WORD. I'll paste in the email chains if you'd like I don't care. I try and do a good thing and this is what I get. Fine get ripped off. Check the other forums this is not a NEW issue. He lied and said that I would receive the arms within 2 weeks. 2 months later nothing. It delayed the build 3 weeks before I just bought oem clk63 parts.

Moreover, why are you so upset about it? Why are you sponsoring him so? Trying to make some cheese or are you him or what? Rediculous.

See next post for email chain (in redacted form). I'm done posting trying to help people not get ripped off and dissapointed. It's funny how I never get this in the Porsche forums. I guess with education and success goes respect. Interstingly I don't see this in the Black series forum either? Huh. I'm done with you. I could have billed 2k for the time I've wasted tyring to help people on this issue not get scammed.

There are numerous unasnwered emails which I sent from the last time that I got an reply to when I was partially refunded and got jacked for $200-

Alternatively it appears that ksport makes camber plates with their coilovers as does d2 racing which are for the 203. I was thinking about trying those however the ksports appear to be coilover specific? Dunno. I have a set of kw v2's so I don't know if they'll work. The d2's appear similar however. Let me know what the timeframe is on the arms, payment etc.

Hi Sean,

So far, kmac and the OEM Mercedes "crash bolts" are the only solution for the front. I have done some engineering on it, but we could only come up with parts that need to be welded and there isn't enough demand to cover the costs of the setup and such. I need the fronts for my car too and I may just have to make a set for myself to see how hard or easy it will actually be.

I don't mind paying and yes I would like them sooner as my car is under repair currently and it saves buying a stock set, only to replace them. Do you make arms for the front as well, or do you know of anyone who makes camber plates or other options for the front? The only other option seems to be the kmac bushings.

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. But, yes i do still sell these arms. Unfortunately, I don't have them in stock at the moment. I'm waiting on a few more people to pre-pay for their sets and then we can have a batch sent out. If you really need them and don't mind pre-paying, I can ask the people that reserved their sets if they wouldn't mind being bumped since they haven't paid anyways.

Sorry, nothing for the fronts.

Let me know what you think.

Leonard

I am still waiting on my arms as well. I was told six sets were ordered and not paid. Now we are at 12 sets? I am getting a bit concerned. Len if you are out there could you please give us an update on where all stands? It would be appreciated. i just sent you another interested party. Thanks

haters crazy
What is the advantage of lensolos arms over a kmac kit? From what I've heard Kmac pulls the bottom of the wheel in whereas lensolos pushes the top of the wheel out correct? This may cause fender/tire rubing issues when pushing the top of the wheel out

Advantage

Blackbenzz,

I believe your comments are correct, but I’m unsure on what, if any, advantage there may be to using either camber solution over the other. I’ll be running a 18”x9.5” wheel in the rear, which already tests the realm of what is acceptable for a W202, so I’ll let you know if pushing the top of the wheel out becomes a problem.

Good things come . . .

Spr,

I did read through your entire communications with Lensolo. He did predict it would be 2 weeks from your payment for the shipment of the arms to you and you did offer him exactly 15 days prior to disputing your purchase via Paypal. Nevertheless, you’ll be pleased to know that I received my camber arms from Lensolo as promised. In the end, we were unable to gather the 12 orders as quick as everyone would have liked, which delayed the shipment of the kits to everyone, but Lensolo did come through by filling my order. Fortunately for me, I was in a position where I did not need, or expect, them immediately. Sorry to hear about your experience.
