Just wondering when that order of 4th gen fronts is due in? I remember you saying it was suppose to be a huge shipment that was suppose to fill nearly all the orders currently made and that it was due around the 10th... im assuming the shipment that you already sent out was not that shipment because it was a small list of names. Really crossing my fingers that I will get them in before the springs.

Guys, I'm doing the best I can to keep you updated, really. But I can't call Koni everyday... We have a huge number ordered, they know it, and as soon as they in the US they'll be shipping as quickly as humanly possible.

4/4's are $969/set. Springs are $275/set and that price (on the springs) includes ground shipping within the 48 states. $1244 in parts, no shipping on the springs, maybe $25 on the shocks. Figure around $1269 shipped.
Here's the current status. I'm telling you all this in a show of good faith, and don't want to be blasted for it because I have no control over it. Because the sale pricing was so good way more folks bought than Koni apparently planned for and sucked the pipeline dry for shocks....
I talked with Koni yesterday.... One run is due in mid-August (a few weeks from now). The next one is mid-late September. I'm hoping the first one is enough to clear most if not all the backorders. But I cannot know if that's the case. *THIS* is exactly why I was encouraging folks to get orders in sooner than later because it was very clear that a backorder was going to happen.
I'll reiterate that all shocks on order are pre-paid (by me too...) and are already sold in your names. They will not go anywhere else, and will ship to you just as soon as they arrive in US.....

Just wondering is the mid august delivery in place of the assumed July 20th-24th delivery or is it just the next shipment after that. Also, how are the spring times looking? Thanks for all the updates.

FYI: a shipment of 4th gen rear shocks came in, so a number of those are shipping over the next few days to those who had them on order but didn't yet get them.
The shipment of rears that came in is on time, it was supposed to have some fronts but clearly does not. So in so far as fronts go, the August shipment is sort of the one that was slated for now.
Springs. Coming very, very soon.
I am indeed air-freighting them to speed them up, that's a done deal. They'll be here long before the front Koni's.

About 60% of the springs are sold, but that leaves about 40 sets remaining... And they are due any time now.
