2 months and still no rear? Is this normal?
So I purchased a Strange Dana S60 almost 2 months ago from Speed Inc. and was told 2 maybe 3 weeks and that came and went. Then I was told another 2-3 weeks due to Strange being very busy and some problem they had with their powder coating. Ok I get it sometimes things happen and places get busy so me being the level headed guy I am I just said ok and dealt with it. Well those 2-3 weeks have passed as well so I call again and they assure me that it will be out by Thursday the 26th or Friday the 27th. As you would guess it did not. Unfortunately I have had to work extra this week and did not have time to call them about it Friday so I will have to wait until Monday. This will make over 7 weeks since the purchase date. So my question is, is this in the parameters for a normal wait time for a rear end? I realize that its a built to order part and sometimes other variables can push things back a tad but this just seems crazy to me. Has anyone else waited or is currently waiting this long for their rear? In the mean time I've ordered and received about a dozen or so other parts that I cant put in until the rear gets here.

Took my S60 3 weeks to get delivered but I didn't order it through Speed Inc. Seems weird. I would be worried. Their build time is usually 21 days. You should call Strange directly to see if they confirm the delay. If not, file a credit card dispute quickly or however you paid for it.

5 months?! Holy crap. I hope you mean 5 weeks cause if I have to wait another 3 months someone is really not gonna like me lol. And I wish I would have ordered mine sooner. Like a dumb *** I waited until I broke the ten bolt so now my car is just sitting and waiting.

It's been a few months for my 9", but MWC was upfront that 8 weeks should be expected, maybe more. I ordered while my rear end is still mint MWC has been terrific to deal with.

It is typically 3 weeks, was for my 12 bolt, however any time the weather is nice people are active and places like that are the busiest. Doesn't take but one speed bump to create a 2 month wait. I can assure you it will be worth the wait. Most here are used to buying stuff that is basically in stock, on a shelf, waiting for a label to get put on a box and dropped at a shipper. As you get into more serious parts, especially custom made ones from smaller businesses, lengthy waits are very, very normal. The difference is, you aren't buying an off the shelf part.

Called and talked to speed inc earlier today and they said the rear was finished today and they were supposed to get it tomorrow and it will be headed my way by Wednesday. ***fingers crossed***
