15% off all Borg Motorsports bushings and swag as well as Brisk Spark Plugs - use code BFCM2023 at checkout
10% off OSG products - use code OSG2023 at checkout
Both codes are active from November 22nd until December 20th. Thanks for your support!
]]>This sale is only for purchases directly through our site, but for our fellow Texans, we'll be covering your sales tax. Use the code "Inventory10" at checkout.
Texans - The site should be set up to remove the sales tax for you during this time, but if it does show sales tax, we'll refund that portion of the order.
Please note that we need to order material for these orders so shipping time will likely be on the longer side of our normal two-week lead time between the order date and the shipment date.
Thanks!
]]>OSG products are 5% off with code "CyberMonthOSG5". Please note that lead times for OSG products are extremely delayed and differentials are not expected to ship until the middle of 2023. Please contact us if you have any questions.
]]>If your specific order will take longer than the standard two-week lead time, we will contact you after the order to let you know. You can also reach out through the Contact Us page of the site to check before ordering or email us directly at sales@borgmotorsports.com.
Currently, this does NOT affect the standard Delrin, but that may change over time. I appreciate everyone's patience with these issues.

Between the high sales growth (thank you all for making this possible!) and some supply chain issues, we're taking a little break to get caught up and allow some family time. This should allow shipments and material levels to catch up to the quantities we need to be in a good place going into the fall. Any orders placed by EOD Sept. 8, will be manufactured and shipped before we truly shut down. I had to bump up the closing date for orders (from the previously announced Sept. 10) because of limited materials on hand. Any orders placed while we are closed will be manufactured and shipped when we return and will be on our standard two-week lead time between order and shipment for backordered items. I will be available the entire time we're closed for technical support, questions, sales, etc. so please feel free to reach out.
For those of you waiting on backorders, we've experienced some delays, probably because of local COVID levels. San Angelo (our town) was listed as the town in Texas with the highest growth rate of COVID (we tend to lag the rest of the country). While it hasn't been as bad as it could have been, I know a lot of people in quarantine and that's probably at least partially by there are occasional shipping delays both in and out. I'm trying to stay on top of shipments and make sure they are getting out of town. That said, I appreciate your patience with this situation.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
]]>Many kits are close to being in stock, but still have a few pieces left to be complete kits. There should be inventory of most kits by the end of the week. While the site will be updated with inventory as it's available, some customers have found issues with the site saying that items are on backorder when they are really in stock. There are some problems on the backend of the site that I'm looking into, but I don't have a timeline for repair.
If you're waiting on a specific kit to be in stock, please send me an email and I'll check for your specific case. Otherwise, it is safe to assume that all kits (except the offset kits) will be able to ship within a week. Thanks!
]]>Because of the high volume and the arrival of the new machine in a little over a week, I'm going to need to adjust the shipping time for all orders placed after Dec. 4 (tomorrow as of this post). If you place an order after 12/4, the estimated backorder shipping time will be 3-4 weeks instead of the normal 2-weeks or less.
I'll be doing everything in my power to still adhere to the 2-week turn around time, but until the backlog of orders is lower or the new machine is up and running, we're just out of capacity in the shop.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Thanks again to everyone for the stellar amount of support. It means the world to me.
]]>Now for the reason it's a little different this year. Our prices have remained the same since opening in 2015. In that time, I have been able to find ways of keeping the costs consistent (more efficient machining programs, machine upgrades, bulk material discounts as sales have increased, etc.). Unfortunately, these options have been exhausted. Between the lack of cost control options, increased material costs, and increased shipping costs, our prices need to increase and they are increasing prior to the Black Friday sale. I know this sounds bad, but read on.
To counteract the price increase and give everyone time to buy what they want at the old prices before they become permanent, the Black Friday discount in 2020 will be increased to offer better prices than we did in 2019. In 2019, we had a 12% discount. This year we are running 20% off on our products. Doing so means that the price you pay during the Black Friday sale is lower than what you would have paid last year, even at the higher MSRP. Hopefully this alleviates some of the pain of the price increase and gives everyone plenty of warning before the price increases are permanent. The new MSRP of each product is listed on the product description as the "compare to" price. On Dec. 21, 2020, the prices will change to these compare to prices permanently.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out through the contact us form. Thanks for all of your support over the years. I am really looking forward to all the growth we have planned for 2021.
]]>To celebrate, we are running a 7% off sale when you enter "C7DELRIN" at checkout. The discount applies to everything on the site, not just C7 kits. The sale runs through July 15th at 11:59 PM CT. Many of our non-C7 kits are also in stock and ready to ship thanks to a large production push at the end of the second quarter.
There are no plans for an offset kit for the C7 however, the front upper control arm position is identical on the C5, C6, and C7 frames, both steel and aluminum, so if you really need the extra camber, you can purchase those from the Individual Bushings section of the website.
Let us know if you have any questions. Thanks for the ongoing support!
]]>In the event you need more camber/caster on an aluminum-framed car after May, you can make your own partially offset kit in the Individual Bushings section of the site. Lower control arm bushings are the same for aluminum frame and steel framed cars (between the C5 and C6) and the offset bushing version of these positions will still be produced. This won't create as much of an increase in camber as the full offset kit, but this combination should provide more than enough to cover 99%+ of your alignment needs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
]]>It seems like most of my customers don't know the full story of the company, so for those of you unaware, Borg Motorsports is a very small company. I am not only the owner, but I'm the sole, full-time employee of Borg Motorsports. I have hired contractors in the past, but it has been over a year since I had any on-site. In addition to that, the shop is on property that I personally own and that is not shared with others. This gives me the ability to continue operations, even under a quarantine situation, without putting anyone at risk of spreading the coronavirus.
Supply chains are still intact, shipment providers are still operational, and none of the materials used for bushings or other products are currently being triaged for medical use. Obviously, these are things that can change quickly, but at this time I can still operate Borg Motorsports normally, with plenty of material and supplies on hand to fulfill orders. While I have been unsuccessful thus far, if I am able to find a way to use my available manufacturing capacity to help fight the coronavirus, I will be temporarily holding orders to help. If any of my readers know of someone looking for manufacturing capacity to help supply the medical community, please reach out to me at lane@borgmotorsports.com. Until then, I will continue to provide the best suspension products I can.
For those individuals that have placed orders in the last month, thank you. Sales have understandably slowed significantly and individual sales during this time mean a significant amount to the health and longevity of the business. Thank you again for your support.
]]>Specifically, no one has used the Affirm payment option, so that will be removed at the end of the year.
Second, the number of people using Amazon Payments is low enough that Borg Motorsports doesn't qualify for Amazon's preferred status. This means payments are tied up for at least a week, but often closer to two. I know two weeks doesn't sound like much, but when Shopify and PayPal have money in the bank in a couple of days, that delay has a measurable effect on cashflow management. It's also just an additional system that needs to be monitored and maintained for little to no added value. Because of that, I will also be taking down Amazon Payments at the end of 2019.
If you plan on using either of these payment methods, please either make your order before the end of the year or contact me to discuss options. Thanks everyone.
]]>As always, if you don't see the OS Giken item you need on our site, please contact us and we'll be happy to get what you need on order.
Also, our Black Friday sale of 15% off sitewide applies to the above OS Giken items and is going on through at least Dec. 12.
]]>HOWEVER, the last day to guarantee arrival by Christmas is December 6th.
Please make sure to get your orders in before December 6th if you want your bushing kit under the tree this year.
For those interested, here is a quick summary of the shop's order fulfillment status. While there will likely be premium kits in stock this week, the standard kits are much further behind. There have been more standard kit sales this holiday season than all the standard kit sales combined since starting this business in 2015. I'm not sure why, but it hit me by surprise and materials/inventory of parts wasn't prepped for the change.
As always, feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks again for all the support and kind words about our products!
]]>The sale will run through at least Cyber Monday (12/2/2019), however we're doing something a little different this year. I'm going to extend the sale until we hit our revenue goal for 2019. Once we hit the goal, I'll post a notice to the newsletter and website, and 24 hours later, the sale will end. Again, the discount will run through 12/2/2019 regardless of sales volume, so you are guaranteed at least that much time to get an order in.
Items listed as backordered are in production and will be added to the website as the kits are assembled or shipped for any orders that have been placed and paid for. Thanks for everyone's continued support.
]]>Again, I want to thank all of you for your patience and continued support. The new machine has so far exceeded my expectations for accuracy, capabilities, and speed which should allow significantly faster turn around times, better inventory levels, new product production capacity, and allow for job-shop work for those with custom order or production needs.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks!
