We just pushed the changes to the live server that will no longer sync Suggested Contacts from Google to your Mac. If you have unwanted contacts in your Address Book that are still listed as Suggested Contacts in Google you can easily remove them:
* Open Google Contacts * Select the "Suggested Contacts" group * Click Select All * Click "Delete Contacts" * Sync Please let me know if you have any questions or run into any problems.
