All I have to say to Sam is "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my shocks go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will k--- you."

Dear Stranoclaus,

Thank you very much for my shocks. I'm looking forward to seeing them delivered. By chance, would one of your elves be available to help me install them?

Sincerely,

The best little boy there is,

BandDirector

Sam-

I have some of your revalved bilsteins that are almost 5 years old. Eiback prokit about the same age.

How much will Konis help for pure handling ability with your springs, compared to my setup? Is it something I will really notice if I'm not pushing the car to the limits?

I want better feel and handling all the time for the street. I'm trying to make my mind up quick and not order the Konis at the last minute.

here's my advice:

1. quit crying.
2. use the search function, all those things are detailed in great length already.

Sam would be the one to ask about this... but I think I saw him post something about people switching from the SA's to DA's since SA's are on back order... this was a couple weeks ago that I saw it though.

Who from? I don't have an order for a full set of DA's.... I do know rear DA's are also on backorder, as we're waiting on a set of those as well.

From David Moore. I put an order in on your website friday for Koni 4/4 Sport Shock set w/ on-car adjustable rear shocks. Is it not there? Do I need to resubmit the order?

David--

4/4's are NOT DA's, 4/4's are externally adjustable SA's.
