With the Konis you pay for them up front so you are just in line to get your set when they come in. From what Sam has said you will likely be in the July batch. (as am I and I ordered back in May). Being charged doesn't mean they are on the way, unfortunately.

I got the 4/3 with the 3rd gen rears... I plan on setting them to full soft in the rear so didnt think I needed the adjustability since its a DD anyways. I ordered in May

The 3rd gen rears are soft, +20%, +50% and +100% stiffer. You aren't going to adjust them once you have them dialed in for your setup(Sam will tell you where to set them). Stock springs will use the soft setting. Save the money and just get 3rd gen rears.

Since I don't control the Koni stock, the only way to make sure we get your sets is to buy them up front, and take them out of circulation. Also the sale pricing is good only for paid orders (that's the same with me buying them from Koni too). So we have to pre-pay and backorder to get the sale price, and in line.

I do my springs and bars differently, and don't charge until they are ready to ship. *BUT* I control my products. I have no such control with regard to Koni.

It's great to see the demand on these through the roof, as they're so f'ing great. I got mine over 1.5yrs ago from Sam, love them ... My advice to anyone waiting, just sit back and wait for them, they're worth it and agonizing Sam about "who" "when" etc. isn't going to get them to you any sooner.

Just ordered some Koni front shocks. Hoping to be able to get the rears before the sale ends, but we'll see.

I just placed an order for Strano springs. The way things are going I might not see them till around Christmas. But hopefully Stranoclaus will come a little earlier than that.
