Once you've cleared this batch, how long does it generally take you to restock?
I may not be able to order this time around, unless you've still got any sets left around Jan-Feb.

Production takes 8-10 weeks once I reorder (and I haven't done that yet, but will as soon as this batch arrives). Basically it takes a while....

Waiting on the call. I have a call in to get a status report. I was told about 3 weeks back on 11/25, so we should see them soon. I'm waiting as patiently as possible, but like you guys I want the springs here too!

Again, I want to thank you all for your patience.

Got a new update on the progress of the springs:

Here's the quote:
"Sam,
Looks like it will be ready to ship to your facility by Fri the 19th or
Monday the 22nd. I will let you know the pallet and weight count so you can
organize a truck to pick up at the Houston facility."

What this means is we'll just miss Christmas, as I'll get them just after based on the information I have. But we should be able to make New Year....

Such is the nature of ocean and truck shipping. I was hoping to have them here a bit sooner, but alas I can't control the arrival time.

Anyway, that's the deal, and the first word I've had with actual dates included. We are growing ever closer to the springs showing up!!!

Bummer...When you say "New Year" does that mean you should have them by New Years or people should start getting them on new years...still looking forward to mine.

However, the Hotchkis front is in between my hollow front and my solid front on weight, and significantly more money.

No ETA on fronts at this time. Material issue, but I am talking to other suppliers to see if I can have bars made to my spec and satisfaction at a reasonable cost.

We're working on doing hollow front bars again with a different supplier. But testing is ongoing, and it'll be a bit yet. Remember we have hollow rears in stock.

And I'm afraid there won't be springs under the tree... Looking like we'll be a week or two behind Christmas delivery. Bummer for everyone, including me.

It's ok that they aren't here by x mas so it gives me time to place my order for my shocks. The springs are a gift for myself so it's no big deal that they won't be under the tree. Thanks for the update sam

Any rough guess on how long Sam so we all know when to start saving up?
