I think that in the decision of whether to get the Koni's or a new clutch, your decision was the best one. Your wallet will hate you, but your car will love you. Well done, sir, well done.

Koni ****.

I show the 18/8 M10 - 1.5 SS nut and lock washer next to he poly lock nut Koni sends and also on the shock itself w/ the Koni washer.

Pictures aren't the greatest quality but you can thank the crappy iphone camera for that.

4th gen rear shocks that are headed out: Oakley, Spencer, Pfrommer.
Fronts headed out: Garcia, Bunting, Younger, Rhodes, Cantorna, Thedford.

I'll say it now, because everytime I do this I get 100 "did mine ship?" questions. The above is what came in, and what's headed out on this run.....

A REMINDER!!!!! DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO ORDER, THE SALE ENDS FROM KONI AT THE END OF THE DAY ON THE 30TH, BUT I NEED TIME TO PROCESS ORDERS. I'm putting and end to sale @ 12pm EASTERN TIME on 6/30. I have to, because when it's over it's over, and any orders not in don't get the sale price.
Hey I didnt even realize my name was on here!
And yes..I have already received the fronts. It looks awesome! Now Im just waiting for the rears to come in.

A fairly large batch of 4th gen rears arrived, not sure how many orders we'll clear but it appears most of the backordered rears will get out. This is who's have shipped to this point:

Martinez
Rhodes
Cantorna
Milenkovic
Fosse
Enriquez
Muckenfuhs
Blum
Wilton
Nelson
Azizi
Ross
Gran
Moore
Brown
Kincer
Beckles
Valdez
Harris
M. Brown
Flores
Yost
Ginaldi

More shipping in the next few working days (can only do so much being human!). Again, if you don't see your name, don't panic you're just further down the list and the shocks ship in order of when the shocks were put on order. If you waited, that's why you haven't seen your name yet.

Some fronts are due in less than two weeks.

Just installed the Konis and springs on my car this past weekend. Took me a few tries to get everything aligned and torqued correctly, but the car feels worlds different. The wait will be worth it for you guys.
