A month maybe... (I hope) on for the bars. Test fitting has started with the new supplier, but some changes need to be applied.

Your set won't be a problem.

That said, we are up to almost 60 sets sold (out of only about 100 sets). So we are starting to get low on available sets.....

In fact I've never had this many on backorder before.

And... here's the latest.

Confirmed they are off the boat, and are in transit to a freight forwarder so the order can be split (not all the springs in the shipment are mine). We're looking like Monday-Tuesday now for them to headed this way. Again, these dates are not set in stone, but they tend to be accurate within a few days.

Just doing my best to keep everyone apprised of the status....

Nobody is getting any half of my springs. All of them are coming here. But my springs are part of a larger Vogtland shipment, and that's why they go to Houston TX (since they others on the shipment got CA, and I'm in PA).

And while I know that Urban Legend was kidding, many might not. So a reminder: Strano Performance Parts lowering springs are not sold elsewhere under other names, and BMR's are not the same. For the record.

55 sets sold of approximately 100 coming in (give or take a few). Backorders are filled first, and in order of when they were placed.

Good news! I just got done arranging the truck shipment from Texas to PA!!!! The Springs are scheduled to be picked up on Friday and be on the way to me. They minute they arrive, I'll start packing boxes. We're in the home stretch!

I have read the older thread thats why I asked if UL was kidding about them going to BMR (which I know he was).
Sam- I know your springs arent sold under other names, but UMI does sell Strano parts (and Vice Versa) is why I figured it was going to them.

I know you guys were kidding, but not everyone does and what with the fact that some claims have been changed to make other springs "look" more like mine in published rates, even if they aren't in reality I felt it important to make mention for the unaware.....
