Ordered complete 12-Bolt with new backing plates on April 5th....
Received on May 18th (a couple weeks later than expected, but no big deal)
It was shipped on its side, so most of the fluid leaked out of the vent onto the brand new E-brake shoes, so I cleaned her up, prepped and painted her the same day....
May 25th, did a final check before installing and found that they built it with the wrong gears
(3.73's instead of the 4.11's I had ordered from LS1Speed)
June 1st, it was picked up and sent back to Strange to be rebuilt with the correct gears....
Got it on June 20th with the correct gears installed...

am i wrong in saying that it's only been just over three weeks? give them at least another week before you freak out.
Ordered my S60 0n Dec. 15th and still have not recieved it yet. I was told it shipped yesterday. I'm cool, because I hear it is well worth the wait. I had a Moser 12 bolt and I think it was a bigger piece of **** than my 10 bolt, so no complaints from Strange.

Take it easy for 500 miles, give it a cupple heat cycles but be sure to let it cool down afterwards. Then change the fluid and enjoy your kick *** rear! I personally couldnt wait 500miles and ended up running it hard at about 370-400 but it turned out fine. These are strong rears but also come at a big price, so try your best to protect your investment and break it in properly...
