What is it with this picture? All these companies use this picture to sell products that aren't even on my car!!! This time it is a suspension company. Thanks to LiCelsior for bringing this to my attention. I have written the company a letter.

Here is the link to it.

I am not even using the MeisterR D.C.S. ZETA Coilovers. I am on K-Sports lolz

Here's a screen capture for you too

Situation was resolved quickly,

"Hello Tony,

No problem, picture will be removed within 24 hrs.
I did state on the T&C to contact me in case it was your car, so I'll get that removed right away.

By the way, very nice car... Have to say the Axis looks spot on and probably the best GS I have ever seen.
Was really tempted to buy a GS when I saw your car. : )

Anyways, I am making some coilovers for the Lexus and European cars in the near future.
Basically something that is fully adjustable but not hard and harsh like the D2 and Ksport... maybe you might roll on MeisterR in the future.

Anyways, apology again for not contacting you first and will get the image removed right away.

Best Regards,

Jerrick"

The only problem I see is that it is false advertising. I don't want to be affiliated with that.

Thanks, yeah saving pictures and posting is cool with me. It is the advertising of things that are not on my car that makes me mad.
