it's all a ploy to get you to save up some more and get the Koni's!

Sam has his Bilsteins revalved correctly for certain springs. I would suggest if he doesn't have them in stock to at least get them on order. He goes through them so quick that if you don't there will be no guarantee on having them in stock.

Hope that helps,
Ryan

Place the order and get locked in. This is too easy.

From what I know, Sam's business is run by like 2-3 people and he was running it himself a few months ago if not still doing it. The best thing to do would be to call him up and just ask if or when something will come in stock.

I've been buying stuff from Sam for the past 4 years. To hear people say that Sam is just trying to squeeze money out of anyone is just absurd.

Bilstein is out of Bilstein's, not just me. And Revalves are built from Bilstein's and by Bilstein to my specs for the job. I had an ETA on more late June, and I got another saying July. It'll be a while for more.....

And I know it might seem like a ploy to some, but it's not. I'm pretty blunt, if you need to be on Koni's, I'll just tell you--no reason for stunts. And as the original poster found out, pretty much everyone is out.

This is quite true. He actually convinced me to step down from SAs to his revalves, knowing full well that 1. I can afford them but 2. I was looking for a good bang-for-the-buck for my application. Good guy.

I hate to join the Strano brown-nosing club, but it's so hard to find stand-up service these days.

Sam put it this way for me, with shipping the Koni's are only 175 more for adjustability and quality that you can't get anywhere else.
Not to mention I get to deal with quite possibly the smartest customer support around regarding suspension...

Revalves can't be started until Bilstein gets more normal shocks and parts, which I was told, generically, July.
