Did anyone else get an email from Tessie Tan at MaXpeedingrods.com?

The following:

Hi,

This is Tessie from MaXpeedingRods(https://www.maxpeedingrods.com/) which is focused on performance over decades with more than 3,000,000 customers all over the world.

Seeing some professional car contents you had made in grassrootsmotorsports.com and admired by your years of experience and resources in the industry. It remind of me that, We are looking for professionals to review our products, would you be interested in participating?

Hope to hear from you and hopefully work together!

Best regards,

Tessie

Hey-if you don't wanna do it, send them to me! I'd love to purchase a set and then tear them apart. I really want to see what damper shim packages could possibly work with them!

I'd happily take any free and/or heavily discounted parts for a 2006 BMW 530xi wagon.

No email here, but grm might want to check if some email list got stolen...

This is exactly what I was getting at. I have no experience or resources in the magazine industry. 

I figured Tim and Margie would like to know if this is an advertiser or something else.

pretty sure Patrick got something similar maybe a month ago?  

Wasn't there a thread about maxspeedingrods on this board a couple days ago...?  I can't seem to find it, though.

Ah, here we go:

They're just harvesting forum information - nothing they sent me couldn't have been scraped off GRM. I have asked Max Pee Dingrods if they'd send me some coilovers. Maybe I'll do a teardown :)

Id rock a set on my beater

What the berkeley? I didn't get an e-mail from Maxpeedingrods. Am I not worthy of the greatest coilovers known to man?

I got the email also. 

Someone on the other thread pointed out that they can be referred to as Max Pee Dingrods. Knurled has used  MPD as an acronym - which is a good hack to avoid attracting their keyword spambots. I suggest that the forum filter be updated :)

Dammit! I WANT the maxpeedingrods email. I want to compare cheap aftermarket coiovers with semi developed homebrew coilovers.

Now that sounds like it would be a fun forum post.

If you get them free from a forum post, it seems to me that FMV for the Challenge is $0 :)

Well E36 M3, now I want an email from them just so I can get a free set of coilervers for a Hyundai Accent...because obviously at that point I'd need to buy a cheap Accent. 

I am a little sad I did not get an email. I need some rods.

She contacted me via Instagram PM. 

In reply to z31maniac :

Tessie from MaXpeedingRods

I would gladly review a set for a 2012 Mustang GT.

I would gladly test a set of rods for a TR3.  

I started to go through with it, but now I’m feeling a bit bad. I’d do an honest review, but I do suspension development for real suspension and it might be a bit cruel. Here are the terms. 

Should I?

—————————————————

We are honored to work with you and willing to sponsor this set of coilovers for you. As the feedback, we hope that you can post the review article on the grassrootsmotorsports.com forum.

It looks like they know who you are and what you do based on the content of that.

I'd do it.  Just don't get the e36 ones....

These also look like a great product to get even if somebody were to gut them and put bilstein inserts in them.  It would probably save a lot of ti.e and money versus piecing a kit together.

I really think you should do it. When I first read it though, I translated BWM E36 in my brain to E36 M3 / grm translation language. I think it would be funnier that way, but do what you will.

The link is to NB coilovers, not E36. 

By the time you’ve put Bilstein inserts in them, why not get Ground Controls with the metallurgy of Eibach springs?
