Cal Offroad is in Berridale not ACT.
Whats interesting is they list Calmini on their site but not Suzuki.

so was it 4wdUSA or Cal Offroad?

4wdUSA is in Perth and we have a very longstanding relationship with Eddie and his crew for over a decade across all of our product lines. They are an upstanding company to deal with.

Damien aka bristlenose2008,

Your post erroneously suggesting the recent or impending closure of CALMINI Products has been noted and recorded. While we embrace the idea of free expression online and in the real world, libelous and possibly damaging claims as to the condition of our business are wholly UNWELCOME.

Please respond to our email within 24 hours or we will be forced to take legal action.


To all others: CALMINI Products is quite alive and well. We thank you for your support and interest in our product line. We credit enthusiasts like you for making the off-road performance world what it is today.

Hi Calmini,

thank you for posting a response on this thread. Yes it my name is Damien.

To make it clear, I am not suggesting anything. I am stating a fact.
The fact is that I have been informed during a telephone converation with a suspension specialist selling your product, that Calmini went bust 6 weeks ago. I put in allegadly, to ensure people know that it's not confirmed and should not be considered true.


For the record, I love many Calminis products, and hope that Calmini will be around for many years to come.


If you want to do some research into this matter, I'll give you a clue. If you go a Google search from Australia by typing in Calmini and restricting it to only Australian sites, the business that informed my is on the 1st 3 pages.
I will go a step further and tell you they are located in either WA or ACT, and as you now also know they have a website.

During the coversation I was told they were actually going to organise to have Calmini removed from their site as a product offering. My phone call reminded them of that.

Calmini as you know in some cases the more successfull/popular a business/person becomes the more evil & jelous eyes there are. You may have had a disgruntled reseller for your product, I don't know, however if you deal with your business partners the way you deal with me here on the post, than I can only imagine why they may be disgruntled.

* Moderators, if you guys want this post removed please feel free to do so.

How about we look at it this way, either stand up and be a man and name the source of your information, or I ban you and you go away and not be welcome here anymore, with some of the ideas you post I reckon you need us more than we need you

For everyone else thinking gee royce is harsh today, I am working with background info I dont need to share with anyone

I just rang Cal Offroad to ask them if I they told me yesterday. A woman answered the phone. I have spoken with a man think his name was Brett.
The lady sounded surprised to hear my enquiry about Calminis alleged situation and I highly doubt it was them.

I will call the other one later to get to the bottom of this so everyone is happy.

So you are saying you don't know who told you?

[badonkadonk]

Call me crazy, but sounds like parties on both sides of the line need to take a deep breath, wise up, pull their heads in & chill the fuck out.

Bristlenose, tone it down & keep your OPINIONS & HEARSAY to yourself as clearly you're now well & truly rubbing people the wrong way- Auszookers & Calmini alike- not based just on this post, but also some of your other "overly-enthusiastic" posts. Personally if you were making those statements about my business you can be guaranteed I'd have your kneecaps by week's end.

Calmini, as you've long understood about us Australians, we call a spade a spade & unfortunately that can sometimes translate as shoot first, ask later, however, Bristlenose ought to know better & do not regard his statement as a sentiment that is taken too seriously by other users on this forum. And by the same token, DON'T threaten people with the typical American attitude of "we will take legal action"- it's laudable & only serves to distance Australians from your product. Needless to say we don't think particularly highly of such attitudes, nor of the personal litigation stance that Americans hold so dearly as though it were part of their constitution. Two words, public relations. You've cleared the air on your trading status so leave it at that. With that said, if there is merit in the statement/rumour & it does come to light as true, don't expect for there not to be substantial amounts of backlash after your litigious spay on this forum.

Now, carry on with your day.

Hi Calmini,

as promised to everyone on the this thread, I got to the bottom of this.
Please everyone back off now.

If our forum moderator decides to either release the name of the business & the individual then that is up to them.
If our moderator requires me to post it and put my name against it, fine.
If Jake from Calmini wants to know, fine, call me on +61 477 640 533 but stop abusing me, because I did not post bullshit, I did not start bull shit, and I have not behaved inappropriately.

are you for real, you started this bullshit by posting rumours & continue to back peddle. man up & post your source, seeing you were so quick to post unconfirmed rumours.

To be fair, he aksed me first (I know who it is) and I have said he needs to post it up but he hasnt read the pm yet

If it is Jake @ Calmini that read it the wrong way to begin with (and the original post did state he was told that, he didnt proclaim it) and has been hassling him about it (regardless of any history) then that is pretty poor form as well

[atari4x4]

but i want in on this bandwagon.

[badonkadonk]

Everything about this situation is pretty ridiculous.

1st, the fact that this kind of hearsay was posted & it's garnered this kind of traction.

2nd, that the offshore company in question gets on here waving their e-dick about & threatening legal action.

3rd, that representatives of AZ even gets involved & basically encourages the original poster to implicate the domestic company dealing in Calmini products & the alleged source of the issue in question.

A thousand shades of messy.

So what's your solution?
Knee cap everyone involved?

If a company wants to sprout shit then it fair we know they might be inclined to try and make up stories to make a sale

Oh and , I can do what I want, this is well known, perhaps if you dont like it you might like to go somewhere else?

Okay here we go.
Adam from Wilkinsons (WA) phoned me just 15:18pm Sydney time and confirmed that 6 weeks ago Calmini went bust as he said yesterday.

I asked is that right? He said yes my dealer told me.

So there you go.
