Thumbs down Another bad experience with Elephant Racing

Hey everyone, just figured it’d be worth briefly sharing my experience so others don’t get stuck in the same unfortunate scenario. I’ve seen a few other threads with my exact experience, so buyer beware!

Recently purchased their raised spindle service for my 911sc. It was Bilstein spindles, and 16” wheels so their recommended height it can be raised is 30mm. I went with that suggestion. Got everything installed and the pictures below is the aftermath of my first drive: a-arm making substantial contact with my inner barrel when making turns - contacting so bad, it was literally preventing my car from turning.

Contacted elephant racing and they couldn’t care less about taking any responsibility for this issue. Their customer service consisted of rattling off a bunch of questions in a way that immediately made me feel they were fishing for any excuse or reason to blame me.
And following up with a list of things I either need to do, or buy to work around the issue.

The moral of my story - I would not trust their measurements and instead be cautious and go atleast 5mm less than what’s suggested online. It was such a frustrating and exhausting conversation with them, so much so I will try my best to avoid buying from them in the future.
