Default Koni's on Back Order ?

Well ive been looking to order a set of Koni Single adjustables, but almost everywhere i call i end up getting the same response- ( Sorry their on Back Order ) . Dammit, Anybody here know of any companies that have some in stock. My Z28 has been parked for like 3 weeks due to a broken KYB Strut. I really want to get my car rolling already. Can anyone help or does anybody have an idea when they will not be on back order.

Nah I called Strano parts but they told me also that they are in back order. They said i could go ahead and order them but it might take a month or more to even get them in. I sure as hell dont want to order another KYB adjustable strut but the same time i dont want to wait months to get my car running. UH- Bad timing of year i guess for these Koni's.

Just a reminder, that any ordered and pre-paid before 6/30 (not after that, and not at the end of the day on 6/30 as I have to process the orders before the end of business that day) will get the sale pricing.... but after, the sale pricing is over, and you are looking @ about $200 more per set than what they currently are going for.....

Both.... Fronts are out, as are both rears. Again, if you want them, please don't wait---I'd hate to see you guys have to pay, literally, hundreds of dollars more for the same shocks next week.

Any idea on when your next shipment is due to arrive? I will be ordering on your website in the next 24 hours or so

There are a number of shipments due between now and August. But if you don't have an order it, then you'd be at the back of the line.... which means probably early-mid August at this time. But I ship them just as soon as I can when I get them. If alternate warehouses get them first, I move the oldest orders there so I can ship stuff ASAP, and in the order which the items were placed on order (that's only fair).

Bottom line is, the longer you wait--well, the longer you wait as you slide every farther down that backorder list. And things are getting down to crunch time. I've already got 3 or 4 new pending orders here on my desk. I HAVE TO HAVE ORDERS IN HAND BY 3PM EASTERN ON 6/30 TO GET YOU GUYS THE SALE PRICE: NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!
