Banski closing up shop - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Here?s another Corvette business I assumed would always be around. Thinking I should have sucked it up and bought from them but I always waited for a better time since the goodies I wanted weren?t cheap. Shops who made specialty products for the C4 are getting scarce.

Jerry, please stay healthy.

Welcome to Banski MotorSports and thank you for visiting our website. Since 2008 we have been delighted to have served the C4, C5 & C6 Corvette community with multi-link suspension and shock mount products.

We have decided to focus on other areas of life, and as such, are in the process of selling off our current inventory and closing the business. There is currently no hard date for closure as it will all depend on when our shelves are cleared of current product.

We have sold out of Trailing Arms & Camber Rods.

We do have parts for of Toe Rods. However, to control inventory costs we do not have all the necessary parts on the shelf, and some need to be ordered. Due to this it may take up to 2 weeks for Toe Rod orders to ship.

I have a few of his parts on both my rides and just bought from him. I had to go to vansteel for a couple of parts as he was out at the time. No idea things were dire

Yeah, too bad. He has been slowly closing down since 2016. I am glad I got his full setup back then. I am embarrassed to say it is still not installed, but I finally got all the pieces together for my DRM coilovers so I will do all at once this year.

Don't be embarrassed I am putting the exotic muscle coil over on my 90 at the moment it took me years to piece together all the parts.

Oh, I thought you already had coilovers? I guess for your other Z. You are Mr. Project man yourself so I can understand. I remember you have the full blown Banski stuff too.

Well, I have so many projects new in boxes and why I said I am embarrassed. However, this is the last PCS of my life and it is finally time to stop moving every two to three years. I hope my coilover project goes smoothly. Unconsciously I have probably been scared of it so I delayed. [emoji38]🤙🏼

Nice! Just a couple more years and I am right behind you Daryll! I want to have beers and just sit there staring at my car after I finish it and drive the hell out of it! 🤙🏼[emoji12][emoji38]
