Last update was making port hopefully tomorrow and on a truck to me around Monday. That's an ESTIMATE, not a guarantee. Your PHB is on order @ UMI, and just as soon as they have 'em ready it's out the door to you.

Supposedly on a truck headed my way. I got the boxes the other day, just waiting like you guys (and kind of not looking forward to packing and shipping. I'll probably have to close for part of a day since I have some 30 sets pre-sold that need packed up and labeled. I guess there are worse problems to have.

I can't wait for me to get them! I come to work everyday hoping to see the trucking company pull up in front.

I tell you what, there's nothing better than finding someone who really knows what they do. After reading Sam's posts things seem to make more sense. Yeah there are a lot of places that sell parts but when you ask them "why" you should use a particular part there's really nothing behind it. I have a 89 T/A with many suspension parts and eibach sportlines/bilsteins(don't go there it's not pretty. I was left scratching my head because I thought I did enough research and trusted the people I talked to. Wrong.

Bump for a guy who knows his stuff.

Sam, how horrible would the ride be if I used your springs and kept the original shocks/struts on my 00' Firehawk and then get the Koni's later. It has the pro kit on it now, the front has settled waaay to much. As soon as your springs are in I am going to order a set. Thanks.

First off, thank you.

That's up to you, keeping the stock shocks. I wouldn't recommend it, think it's a not good idea, seeing the shocks suck on much softer springs. You can do it, and folks have despite my opinion to the contrary. If you do, I only ask that when the ride sucks or some other thing you don't like pops up, that you don't blame the springs.... As much as suspension parts help, the shocks are the single biggest thing GM screwed up royally. I consider good and correct shocks the lynch pin to a good suspension, more than springs (mine or anyone else's).

Springs are $269 shipped (48 states). Everyday I come to work hoping to see a truck with them on it, and see nothing. I got the bill of lading info, seems they stand a chance of being here Monday.

Believe me, I want them worse than anyone else does. Trust me.

God I hope so. The updates I've been getting are vague and not in any way certainties. They are on they way, I assure you that. I know there are in the US, and supposedly on a Yellow Freight Truck headed my way (I've heard on the truck before, but never the freight line, so maybe that's progress).
