Default Free Korbach Frame Locks & Beta Testers Needed

A while ago I wrote up one of many Korbach Frame Lock reviews. You can check out mine in my signature. The company needs testers for 92-95 Civics, Del Sols, and Integras.
I know my car. I know how it handles before and after this product. Here's a chance for the skeptical owners of other generation Civics to see for themselves how the product works. I get no money or incentive for posting this. I just believe in the product and am passing on the word.
Here is part of an email I got from the company.

##########

MODERATORS: We hope that it is okay for us to offer free products
(valued at $ 245) to select driving enthusiasts to Beta Test and help
us develop Frame Locks for other Hondas. If you have any questions,
email us on manager@korbachperformance.com

WHO WE ARE….KÖRBACH PERFORMANCE
> http://www.korbachperformance.com
> Email: manager@korbachperformance.com

WHAT WE DO
> We innovated Frame Locks (patent pending), a brand new chassis
product that significantly improves steering response (turn in) and
ride by giving it a smooth yet very solid ride.
> Our first product was on the 6th Gen Civic and now we are moving
forward to other tuner cars.

MADE FRONT COVER OF HONDA TUNING MAGAZINE
> We made the September 2004 front cover of Honda Tuning magazine “The
Best Handling Upgrade You Don’t Know About”. 6 page article.
> Check out the article on Honda Tuning magazine’s website:

of a popular car enthusiast club (Clubsi.com)

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR…DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS
> Driving Enthusiasts who own cars (92-95 Civics, Integras, Del Sols)
wanting to be among the very first in the world to test Frame Locks
installed on their cars.
> Need 2-3 Driving Enthusiasts that live close to Foster City
California (near San Francisco). They will receive a free set of Frame
Locks (retail $ 245), free installation and a $ 50 incentive. They
will also get a first hand glimpse of the development process of
automotive performance products and will participate in handling test
drives. Best of all, they will have a vehicle with increased
performance
in both ride and handling.
> Need 3-5 Driving Enthusiasts located any where in the USA who are
willing to self install Frame Locks, test drive them and give us feed
back on the installation, packaging etc. Price will be well below
retail and near cost. If not satisfied, they will receive all thier
money back.

IF INTERESTED, CONTACT US.
> Email us at manager@korbachperformance.com or call us toll free on
866-8KORBACH to get more details.
> We can not assure that all applicants will be accepted. Our
selection process depends on many factors including preferences to
Moderators, Racers and friends of previous Beta Testers.

Thanks!

Sounds cool, and it is FREE so this doesn't seem to be a solicitation topic.

Until someone can give us (the Moderators) a reason why this is a bad idea, then the topic will stay open.

Also for those who oppose the idea of framelocks, etc please keep your comments to yourself. you obviously wouldn't be interested in the deal, so there's no point in posting.

BTW:

I have a 1992 Civic with quite a few suspension/engine upgrades - click the link to see what I mean.

I would not mind seeing what the frame locks could do, but I'm all the way over in GA.

Remember it's free to the local people. If you're not able to drive to their company, you'll have to pay cost like I did. It's under $100. The retail cost for the EK frame locks is $200 something.

I'm betting mostly site moderators or those with high post counts in tech areas will be chosen. But who knows.

I got a response back. I had to fill out an application form. The guy who responded said that he would get back to me by the end of February letting me know if I will be one of the testers. I'll let you know what happens.

I filled out an application quite a few months ago and am wondering if you still have it on file. I am interested in doing the testing. Please let me know.
