Seems to me like you have a special case. My question to them before took 5 days to respond. Their deal though for free springs cannot be beaten.
Not sure if you would need post sale support. Issues would go to koni directly. But it is possible.
Ok to be pissed, and I wish all could get the proper customer service all the time... But I think we have all been guilty on missing emails and getting so busy that we forget to respond to ppl.

Yessir, you are correct. Thats why i sent PMs and emails to different reps. Figured posting up on their thread would get a response. Guess not. Both BMR Tech2(Kevin) AND BMR Sales2(Kyle) have been on this site this morning and still no response. I can see it getting overlooked if this thread were buried several posts down(this site has LOTS of new posts daily!), but its been kept toward the top.
I dunno? I'm definetly feeling very "special" right now though...
Like i mentioned, plans are for suspension parts in the VERY near future as well.($$$). Guess that does not matter either...

What are the questions you have? Kyle is out of town so it's just me handling 3rd Gen, 4th Gen, 5th Gen, G8, and GTO for a couple days...I'm very sorry.

To add, we can be reached by phone every day. I'm getting calls all day and entering orders, so it's difficult to get on the forums and properly respond to every thread in the world when I'm getting pulled in every direction. Traditionally, we're very prompt in our response to customers and their PMs.
Once again, I'm very sorry.

I did not send u a PM, but did send u an email(Kevin@bmrsuspension.com). Guess i should have searched under all 5 or so of ya'lls usernames on here and sent all a PM? I actually figured the emails would do the trick. What business does not ck their emails?
Not trying to be a butt about it. Just feeling like i'm doing all the work here.
Thanks for your reply!

Sent a PM to BMR Sales2 first. No response. Went to your site and sent a email to GMSales@bmrsuspension.com. Within minutes of that, i saw one or your posts where you listed your email as a contact(Kevin@bmrsuspension.com) so i sent an email there as well. Then started posting up on here. Also looked under your username stats(BMR Tech2) and it showed you were logged in around 8-9am this morning as well as 1pm this afternoon. At 1pm, it showed "current activity" was viewing this thread if i recall correctly. As i mentioned earlier, i can not call while at work(worked past 7pm yesterday as well as 1am-4am this morning, then back at work at 8am).

As far as emails go, once again, I can't get to all of them every day once its delegated to be based on car segment/application.
I'm about to go home now for the day, but please PM me all of your questions and I will have a response waiting for you in the morning.

Just placed my order 
I was recommended to order an adjustable panhard bar as well. I don't know much about suspension so which should I look at purchasing? My car is my DD if that matters...

I responded back, but then decided to post this here for anyone else looking into this. I would have liked to have had the info anyway, some could have saved me some time had I known.
You may not need everything. I went ahead and ordered bushings because I wanted an as new as possible ride when I was done. Turns out my bushing were disintegrating, so it was a good thing I did.
Anyway..
MOOG Strut Mount (Front Left Upper) - K6516 - $45.79
MOOG Strut Mount (Front Right Upper) - K6517 - $46.79
MOOG Spring Insulator (same as Raybesto part, I found this part later and like MOOG better - K6573 - $4.46 x 2
I wasn't aware I was going to need this piece, if you have it and you buy the Insulator and strut mounts you can trash your strut assembly when you get it out of the car (or sell it maybe). They didn't have this item around me so we had to cut the stock stuff apart with a torch to get to it..Wasn't happy about dealing with that.
MOOG Coil seat - K80927 - $11.40 X 2
The rest may or may not be needed depending on your cars condition. The Bushings I had to take to a shop to have pushed on, I didn't have the tools or the time to do the tricks listed in LS1tech threads, but they are there if you look and want to try.
MOOG Control Arm Bushings - K6490 - $18.89 X 2
MOOG Control Arm Bushings - K6689 - $14.39 X 2
I needed Stabilizer Bar Links, front and back, mine were shot.
MOOG - K6630 - $6.93 X 4
So close baby...so close.....

Got the rear end done today. Shocks, springs, bump stops, control arm bushings, and spring insulators all new. Much to my surprise the rear is sitting about .25" higher than the old SLP Bilstein set up. I knew that after 100k the rear was sagging a little bit, but good lord. I cant wait to get the fronts done. I also picked up new bushings, balljoints, insulators, and strut mounts. Gotta love new parts. Now the sway bars look neglected. They will be next. Thanks again to Kevin and team BMR!

Got to get pictures up. Since I was doing all the bushings I somehow got the alignment so screwed up I can't drive the car except for the short trip to get it aligned. I hope next week. But the car is sitting nicely higher then it was before which is great, because it was slammed.

The drivers side rear sits approximately 1/25" - 1/3" lower than passenger side. I'd like to have the cars geometry as symmetrical as possible!
This is with the gas needle buried on E, so I imagine a full tank o' gas would drop the rear a bit more lol.
Complete install start to finish roughly 3 1/2 hrs.

Unlike Chris SS I was raising the car up instead of dropping it, so this will be an example of that.
