Anyone near Hendersonville, NC?

We could really use someone near NC to have their car test fitted with Öhlins Road and Track coilovers.

Any takers? Your help would be greatly appreciated in bringing another high quality product to the community. I'll be happy to help with gas/transportation costs for your trouble since I really want a set of these coilovers

Are we talking about Hendersonville, just south of Ashville or Henderson?

Hendersonville is seven hours away from Virginia Beach and Henderson is three hours....

Just south of South Hill, VA so around 150 miles for me in Williamsburg, VA. Plus having a trailer available for pick up and drop off makes it even easier.

There will be a discount on the kit to whoever volunteers. Two trips will be required, one for measuring, and one for actual testing.

Any more news or updates on this. I'm passing through this area several times over the summer on the way to the dragon and could easily stop in for measurements if needed.

Thanks @IN10SS, that's great to know we have another person that could stop by. @zubydafa do you have any news from your shop? I haven't been able to get anything.
