pjb is correct on 4/3, $122/set savings. It's $138 on a set of 4/4's--that's worth the wait to most folks.

And get them As Soon As Possible you shall.... The minute your name is at the top of the list, and there are shocks here, they'll be on the way.

Sam,

can you post the list of people waiting on the fronts? I know I'm at the bottom of the list, but I'd like to see how many people are in line.....

I really can't..... I have some 30 sets on backorder right now, but the next shipment is to be really, really big--should be no issue to clear the current orders of the next shipment the newest orders will be but days behind the oldest.

Awesome! Can't wait to put them on my Strano springs!

Thanks for putting up with all of Koni's mess, being patient with everyone here on the board, and for keeping us updated as you do. It does not go unnoticed, and I for one am very appreciative of the way you do business. I wish all vendors, here and elsewhere, ran things the way you do. Thanks for the constant, hard work!

It will still cost you upfront, unlike ordering his springs. He has to front the money for each set to Koni, so he needs your cash. Decisions, decisions.....

Damn really, I was hoping they wouldn't get processed until he had them in. I want to get them on sale but need the clutch to be changed first. Your right about decision...****. I don't need them now but I want the sale price, and need my clutch asap. I just repeated myself.

I can't accept any new orders after that, I have to have enough time to do the invoicing and ordering.

You only need the shocks assuming you aren't missing any parts or have anything busted on the car.

it's been awhile but i was reading that there was some kind of fitment issues with installing the fronts and that you needed new gm strut braces that were like 300 for both.

so there isn't any fitment issues at all? do they come with all the nuts and bolts needed?

WHAT?????????

You guys really have to stop with this notion that if you read it on the web it must be true.

To be blunt, I have NO EARTHLY IDEA what you're talking about... does that clear it up?

And there is not such thing as a strut brace on this car. We have shocks---and while there are shock tower braces, I think you mean shock mounts. And you only need to change those if they are screwed up. Worrying about this is like asking if you should rebuild your engine because someone else blew their engine up.....
