Default Ordered a set

Sam,
I just ordered a set of your springs through your website. I'm looking forward to getting them on the car

I do want to talk to you about set up. My info is on the order I submitted.

You've heard the term factory freak, mine must have been a factory fuckup. 29", rear from the ground to the lip see pic. Can't wait to get Sam's springs.

Just a heads up fella's. I'm basically right down to the end of the run. The actual number of springs that arrive is slightly variable. Sometimes I get more, sometimes I get slightly less than I officially order. Depends on how much wire there is on the run and/or any damage that happens in shipping.

If you have orders submitted, they will be filled on a first come, first served type basis. At this point in time, I can't guarantee everyone who submits and order will get springs from this batch. If I end up selling out before I get to your order, I will contact you to talk about options (backorder off the next run, other brands, etc).

Sam, is it usually a 12 week turnaround once the springs go out of stock? I've been patiently waiting to order a set of your springs and some Bilsteins, but I might have to hold off or look at other options if it's going to be that long of a wait. That puts me out of half the open track days I want to attend this season...

It is a long wait for springs to be made. They are selling out faster than I can resupply them. I could have them made quicker, but don't want to settle for lesser or heavier materials.

I do my best to keep folks apprised on the status so those that want springs know to order. Those that haven't even ordered yet probably won't get a set of this batch....

Again I've been saying that we only have so many sets, with periodic updates. And what's more is that I don't charge you for the order until the springs are ready to ship. There is no reason not to have gotten an order in if you really wanted a set. I'm sorry....

I never did these springs to become the "spring guy". I did it because I was fed up with most of other things around and felt I can do better (and think I have, as do a lot of others). As such, I never setup for massive runs and figured batches of 100 sets a few times a year would be plenty. Clearly it's not. I have re-ordered (but it will be a while) and I ordered more than normal hopping to help get everyone who wants them a set next time around.

Yea I know what you mean.
I guess I will have to get my Konis and have them here until I can get your Springs.

I just got an update.. Homeland Security and Customs have released the springs!!!!! Trucking company scheduled to get them Tuesday of next week, hopefully that puts them at my shop by the end of next week...

As of right now, there might still be a few sets available up for grabs. First come, first served, and if the numbers are EXACTLY right we're looking at less than 10 sets left up for grabs. This is written @ 4:30 PM on 4/9.

I'm glad i ordered mine a few weeks back. I'm ready to see my car with a better stance. It looks taller everyday. Almost makes me not want to drive it until i get the new springs.

Just ordered a set as well. Give me a call or an e-mail if there are not enough sets. I don't plan on installing them on my car for a few months yet, but I figured I might as well get them now. I will be ordering the Koni's later.

Regards,

Chris Lowe

Fixed. Im guessing it's a little late, but it's worth the try.
