Savvy off-road sold? (the unofficial Savvy customer support and Savvy rant thread)

I know it's buried in this threat somewhere, but any luck with the body lift? I thought I remembered reading someone was immediately refunded...

I sent an email yesterday and got response saying body lift kits are in anodizing. So I went ahead and backordered a set, hopefully I’ll have them in a couple weeks.
 
This thread can be a bit hard to follow. Is there a reasonable risk of the Savvy mid-arm kit not being available for purchase in the near future? I’d like to make the upgrade, but I’m not ready for it quite yet. I don’t want to kick off the next phase of my LJ in a few months time only to learn the defacto kit for optimal geometry no longer exists.

TLDR: I want a mid-arm kit, but don’t need it today, and I have FOMO. Is it justified?

I don't know that anyone can answer that question with even an iota of certainty. I think a better question to ask is the one I asked myself a bit more than a year ago: How screwed up will my build be if I don't have the mid-arm kit when I need it? After answering that, I immediately placed an order for a mid-arm kit (they were accepting backorders with long waits at that point in time). I think it was seven months later that I received most of the kit (like others' orders, mine was screwed up - one major piece was missing and all lower control arm Johnny Joints were lefthand threads).

As it turned out, it arrived in time for my build because I planned for a long lead time. Had I waited to order it a short time before I needed it, I may have been waiting a long time to continue my build. My advice - if you know 100% that you want the mid-arm suspension, and you can afford it now, order it. It may be in stock, on a long backorder, or no longer available later.

I ordered mine on the 3rd and got an email back saying it's being processed. No email since. I assume it's in process since they charged my card.

I'm fairly certain that "the" mid-arm, whether in kit form or as components, will be available.
